jail(8)'s '*' operates on everything without concern for rc.conf, as
such jail_list is not respected. Perhaps try something tied to the rc.d
system. Does `service jail restart` do what you are looking for?

Otherwise I would just go with simple restart script such as:
#!/bin/sh
set -e
jail -r '*'
jail -c dns
jail -c mail
