The rotation is done by journald itself [1] iirc

As for the umask:
$ systemctl show systemd-journald.service -p UMask
UMask=0022

You should be able to trigger an explicit rotation by sending the
journald process SIGUSR2
$ systemctl kill --signal=USR2 systemd-journald.service

This should make it easier for you to check your theory.

Regards,
Michael
