There is no such log within the OTRS software.
Admin actions are logged by the OTRS admins on the OTRS wiki.  Yes, these
are manual edits.  There has never (that I know of) been an issue with the
OTRS admins accessing queues they shouldn't.  While of course it is
possible for them to, as others have explained, I'm not sure it is a
realistic concern that needs a solution.  It would be ideal if the OTRS
software logged all actions ... I wonder if this is changed at all in the
new version, which hopefully will be set up for Wikimedia soon (
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22622).
