I did quite some testing of the mailman3 packages in the last days,
using all possible database backends. So far, I failed to reproduce the
bug you discovered.

We renamed the 'mailman3-suite' package to 'mailman3-web' recently, to
avoid further confusion about the purpose of the package. Similarly, we
renamed 'mailman3-core' to 'mailman3'. You should find all these
packages in Debian Unstable by now.

Would you mind to purge all your mailman3 packages, do a fresh
installation and see, whether you're still able to reproduce the bug
with the latest packages from Debian Unstable?

After testing different settings, I'm pretty confident that indeed the
database settings from '/etc/mailman3/mailman3-suite.py' (or now
'/etc/mailman/mailman-web.py') are used in a clean
mailman3-suite/mailman3-web installation.

Please send the output of the following commands:

$ ls -al /etc/mailman3/mailman-suite.py
$ ls -al /usr/share/mailman3-suite/settings*

You can reassign existing bugreports by using 'Control:' pseudo-headers
at the beginning of mails or by sending control commands to the
bugtracker[1].
