There are dozens of workarounds for this limitation.
First, why does the list name itself matter? What matters is that
actual email addresses are aliased to the list commands. Example
virtual(5) mapping:
supp...@example.com example.com_supp...@localhost
supp...@example.net example.net_supp...@localhost
supp...@example.org example.org_supp...@localhost
And other mappings as needed for the various Mailman commands. In
this example, the outside senders see and use the right support@
addresses, and only the help desk people see the real list names
of "domain.tld_support".
Second, this is trivially solved with multiple instances. You could
have config_directory as subdirectories of /etc/postfix/ such as
/etc/postfix/example.com, and do likewise for the queue_ and
data_directory for each instance.

I don't know about other MLMs, but I am sure you can solve your
problem with some Postfixation.
