I found the problem. Thanks for your help:
As mailman3 via docker, consists of 2 independent containers (mailman-core & web) the templates, the runner used a wrong url when looking for templates. after adjusting my templates via SQL, all is fine now:
# sqlite3 /opt/mailman/core/var/data/mailman.db "SELECT * FROM template;" 1|list:user:notice:probe|cubewerk.de| http://localhost:8000/postorius/api/templates/domain/cubewerk.de/list:user:notice:probe|| 3|list:member:regular:footer|cubewerk.de| http://localhost:8000/postorius/api/templates/domain/cubewerk.de/list:member:regular:footer|| 4|list:member:regular:footer|lists.cubewerk.de| http://localhost:8000/postorius/api/templates/domain/lists.cubewerk.de/list:member:regular:footer||
sqlite3 /opt/mailman/core/var/data/mailman.db "UPDATE template SET uri = REPLACE(uri, 'localhost:8000', '172.18.0.3:8000');"
# sqlite3 /opt/mailman/core/var/data/mailman.db "SELECT * FROM template;" 1|list:user:notice:probe|cubewerk.de| http://172.18.0.3:8000/postorius/api/templates/domain/cubewerk.de/list:user:notice:probe|| 3|list:member:regular:footer|cubewerk.de| http://172.18.0.3:8000/postorius/api/templates/domain/cubewerk.de/list:member:regular:footer|| 4|list:member:regular:footer|lists.cubewerk.de| http://172.18.0.3:8000/postorius/api/templates/domain/lists.cubewerk.de/list:member:regular:footer||

Mailman logs Cannot connect to SMTP server, however the server is listening, but i see no connection attempts. [...] If i restart the docker-core container, i see a single time the error "Cannot connect to SMTP server 172.17.0.1 on port 587".
Is it possibly to connect e.g. via telnet (from the host/IP mailman is running on, as the user mailman is running as) to the SMTP server? That looks more like a connection problem from A to B than a mailman problem.
