Okay, so would it be possible to completely block the mail-posting form
and/or the script that takes the form data and passes it to the outbound
server? By brute force (.htaccess or mangling the code) if there's no
other way? I think most of us can live without being able to post to the
MLs through the website. We really only want hyperkitty for the archiving
features.
Requiring moderator approval of first messages is second-best in terms
of strategies, because it eats into the mods' time.

Is there an option to allow hyperkitty web interface only for "approved"
users? This way users can still subscribe easily to ML but would not
have automatic access to the web interface.

There is another possible level of defense: to set up newly
subscribed users not only to have to confirm their email address, but
also to be approved by a moderator. That could be an acceptable
compromise.
What is your opinion?
Would be a start. But I think the spamers will just add another
strategy to steal the mods time and get past him.
