The steps fixed my problem.

I only had to:
- install sudo (my debian installation was a minimal netinstall,
  without that package)
- chown -R www-data /usr/share/mailman3-web

I had also to add a mail address to my admin profile and set it to
preferred (I only had root at mydomain as address).

Thnakyou!
