That didn't work because the first message sent will go to yourself and the mailing list which will be blocked. If you tell it not to send it to yourself, the first message will send. If you try to reply to all to this message it will also be sent because the reply to will only have the member list.

As others have said, I'm not sure this is a good idea, unless your goal is to annoy your users and impede communication. But one thing that would have the side-effect of blocking a reply-to-all is changing the list settings so that the list only accepts mails if there is exactly one recipient. You can do this under Privacy Options -> Recipient Filters Set "Ceiling on acceptable number of recipients for a posting." to 1 Then anyone hitting reply-to-all will get a message saying that their message is held because there are too many recipients, since any reply-to-all will include both the sender address and the list address.
