The interactive form is wrong.  It should be this:

 (defun my-function ()
   (interactive nil text-mode mail-mode)
   (message "Hello"))

IOW, no quoting and no explicit list.  The documentation clearly says

  (interactive &optional ARG-DESCRIPTOR &rest MODES)

"&rest MODES" means zero or more symbols, not a quoted list.
