AFAICT, the issue is triggered by the domain  being added to local mail,
such as root's mail.  If that stops happening, then the mail will be
delivered locally (as experiment showed).  So, what is adding the domain to
local mail?

Something useful might be learned by changing confLOG_LEVEL to 11 ("address
translations") or more in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, restarting sendmail, and
inspecting the spew.
