In my eyes, there are two problems here:

1) This line should read

blaatuser: "| /opt..."

2) you cannot use $u in aliases

Also, delivering in Aliases means that sendmail is using a non-root / 
non-virtuser-uid UID. So you probably have to SetUID-root deliver, in 
order to give deliver a) permission to the auth socket and b) permission 
to spool the message into the mailbox.

Actually you never told sendmail to use the dovecot: mailer you've 
configured.

Remove both the virtuser and alias entry, so sendmail even tries to hit 
mailertable you have configuered the dovecot: mailer in.

Also, remove the domain from local-host-names and place it into 
relay-domains.

Check the requireness of SetUID-root of deliver. (s. above)

Bye,
