The above line overrides all previous add_virtualhost lines. It sets
the VIRTUAL_HOSTS dictionary to have the one entry
{'mailsrv.domain.lan':'domain.lan'}, thus even the DEFAULT* entry is
gone. If you want it at all, it should probably be
add_virtualhost('mailsrv.domain.lan', 'domain.lan')
but see below.

Are you trying to support virtual hosting where lists in the
'www.domain.net' domain are separate from lists in the
'mailsrv.domain.lan' domain? It seems more likely, that you are just
trying to set things up so you can access and administer the same
lists from both inside and outside the lan.
The way to do this is to just have the one add_virtualhost for the
default names and set up your network so that the external names work
from inside.
In any case, your immediate issue may be that with your current or any
similar setup, you have to access the web create page as
http:/mailsrv.domain.lan/..., i.e., with a fully qualified domain
name, not as http:/mailsrv/...
I think what you want to do in mm_cfg.py is remove
VIRTUAL_HOSTS = {'mailsrv.domain.lan':'domain.lan'}
and add
VIRTUAL_HOST_OVERVIEW = Off
