The LE script is running using the standalone mode, ie. it does not use nginx so it should work, unless the 80/443 ports are already used. Can you provide the output of the installer using the --debug option?

I know what's problem.Because letsencrypt need upload file to web server.And letsencrypt only upload to 80 port web server.So it's will direct auth http://mail.domain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/random_code. But the path it's not my modoboa server.This is my another web server.How to fix it?

That's not a modoboa issue. I suggest you add a redirect rule to the web server running on port 80 so requests sent to http://mail.domain.tld/.well-known/acme-challenge/random_code are redirected to the right server.
