I have sites with similar layout, using sendmail's LUSER_RELAY.
The mc entry is;
define(`LUSER_RELAY',mail.domain1)dnl
- External users (domain2) are aliased, so miss the relay.
- Local accounts also miss the relay.
- The rest are relayed to the internal mailserver.
Ref: /usr/share/sendmail/README
LUSER_RELAY The site that will handle lusers -- that is, apparently
local names that aren't local accounts or aliases.
