But /usr/local/mailman/archives/public/LISTNAME is a symlink to
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME so the above is a listing
of /usr/local/mailman/archives/private/LISTNAME/

The issue is ownership and permissions on
/usr/local/mailman/archives/private (the .. directory in the above).
This directory has to be o+x or owned by the web server user. See
<https://www.list.org/mailman-install/node9.html>.

Yours is o-x and owned by root.

It's not a symlink issue, it's an inaccessible target.
