Standard port for HTTPS is 443, that's true. See "grep 443
/etc/services". But you could define any other port if you wish. You
could also define a different port than 80 for HTTP. But then you always
have to access the site using HTTPS://URI:443 or HTTP://URI:80
Annotation to webmin: it does come with an own HTTP/HTTPS service, both
by default configured to listen on port 10000.

For webmin only you need to open just port 10000, inbound and outbound.
