I found a solution.

install virtualmin-config package version 6.0.16
virtualmin config-system --include ProFTPd
manually added "Include /etc/proftpd/modules.conf" to proftpd.conf (without it, there is a fault "fatal: unknown configuration directive 'TLSEngine on'")

That didn't work for me unless there is something magic about version 6.0.16 that wouldn't work with an current version of virtualmin.

I still get:

Starting ftp server: proftpd2018-07-14 14:46:26,366 debian proftpd[7751]: fatal: unknown configuration directive 'TLSRSACertificateFile' on line 92 of '/etc/proftpd/proftpd.conf'
