I think OAMI already uses a HTTPS URL for communication with Wikimidia Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/api.php – therefore there should be no problems.

To confirm that an OAMI deployment is using a HTTPS URL, check the file .config/open-access-media-importer/userconfig in the bot user's home directory.

My userconfig was not yet set to https, but I fixed it now. Thanks.
