There are two stages:
MTA handing off the message to the LDA
'deliver' LDA taking the message and delivering it to the appropriate mailbox.
The first stage is not determined by the dovecot.conf mail_location setting.
the local mailer continues to handle and send the mail to /var/mail/<user-name>. Yes we did create another hostname.cf. :=)
Add the following line to your sendmail .mc file:
define(
confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',True')dnland generate a new configuration. Then restart sendmail and test.

Per your suggestion:
hostname.mc contains:
define(confDONT_PROBE_INTERFACES',True')dnl
dnl MAILER(local) MAILER(smtp) MAILER(dovecot) dnl MAILER(procmail)dnl

Well you can see 'Mailer(local)' is still in the loop (above)
Below, just for giggles I checked the ~/Maildir; nothing there. the test mail for the above is no doubt in /var/log/maillog.
