Have you considered setting "sendmail_path" to your custom "sendmail
wrapper" script?
It should allow you to pass extra command line options to
sendmail/postfix [e.g. non standard location of the configuration file].

IMHO on long run docvecot configuration should support passing extra
command line parameters to sendmail  (e.g. via "sendmail_options").
