Yes, this is possible, I have previously done this successfully.  The way to do it depends on how your groups are defined - you need to use the 2level LDAP for Active Directory but OpenLDAP can usually manage with the single level.

There is helpful documentation here: https://sympa-community.github.io/manual/customize/data-sources.html

For Active Directory groups, use something like this:

include_ldap_2level_query
name  ad_group_XXXXXX
host  ldap.company.com
port  3269
user  username
passwd XXXXXXXXX
use_tls yes
ssl_version tlsv1
suffix1 DC=company,DC=com
filter1 (&(cn=XXXXXX)(objectClass=group))
attrs1  member
select1 all
timeout1 60
scope1 sub
suffix2 [attrs1]
filter2 (objectClass=person)
attrs2 mail
select2 first
scope2 base
timeout2 10

For OpenLDAP, you may be able to simplify to using something like this, 

depending on your structure:

include_ldap_query
name  openldap_group_XXXXXX
host  ldap.company.com
port  389
bind_dn cn=XXXXXX,o=company
passwd XXXXXXXXX
use_tls yes
ssl_version tlsv1
suffix  ou=users,o=company
filter1 (&(memberOf=XXXXXX)(objectClass=posixaccount))
attrs  mail
select all
timeout 60
scope sub
