I use theme "evocustom" , bull list works, that file looks like:
<?php
$this->set('plugins', 'anchor advlist autolink lists modxlink image charmap print preview hr anchor pagebreak searchreplace wordcount visualblocks visualchars code fullscreen spellchecker insertdatetime media nonbreaking save table contextmenu directionality emoticons paste textcolor codesample colorpicker textpattern imagetools paste youtube', 'string');
$this->set('toolbar1', 'undo redo | bold italic underline strikethrough | copy paste | searchreplace | alignleft aligncenter alignright alignjustify | bullist numlist outdent indent', 'string');
$this->set('toolbar2', 'styleselect formatselect link unlink image media table | hr removeformat | charmap | nonbreaking | preview fullscreen code', 'string');
// Hide bars
$this->set('menubar', false, 'bool' ); // https://www.tinymce.com/docs/configure/editor-appearance/#menubar
$this->set('statusbar', false, 'bool' ); // https://www.tinymce.com/docs/get-started/customize-ui/#hidingthestatusbar
