The answer to this is "no". You can disable the web interface but, short of editing the code, you can't remove the ability of users to unsubscribe by email. The documentation suggests that, if this is what you want, the best option is to simply set it so that you get automatic notifications of anyone unsubscribing.

I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your question but I would
really like to know why the fsck someone would want to have a
mailing list where the users can't *unsubscribe* .
If you wanted to use Mailman (or any other list manager) to handle internal "all staff" mails instead of just using a cc list or alias expansion, then you want to stop people unsubscribing. You wouldn't, obviously, want to do this for external mailing lists.
