do not mix the "From: header address of MAILER-DAEMON" with the envelope
from=<MAILER-DAEMON at domain(1,2,3)> would be the problem described below
why in the world do you need "sender_dependent_relayhost_maps" for vacation?

you should try to explain your problem and not how to implement a solution
