​I don't know about doing it directly in Webmin, but it's very easy to do
from the command-line if you control your DNS server.  Use dehydrated to
request a Let's Encrypt certificate using DNS challenge, then just symlink
the generated cert files into /etc/webmin, and configure Webmin to use
those.

I just implemented this for 50-odd Webmin servers, using a single Let's
Encrypt cert (using Subjet Alternate Name support) via dehydrated and DNS
challenges.

It's not quite as automated as just letting Webmin handle everything
internally, but it works quite nicely (update certs on a single machine,
then push the certs out to all the others).
