I can't reproduce your problem here and I'm not sure why, but
it seems to me there are two things you can try.
1: Add an MX record for debiansat.domain.net pointing to your
smarthost, and add "debiansat.domain.net" to local_domains
on the smarthost. Mail for debiansat.domain.net originating
on your smarthost or from the internet should be delivered
on your smarthost as local mail. This will work if the
users on debiansat.domain.net also have accounts on your
smarthost, and you control the delegation for domain.net.
2: Add the option
header_remove = "sender"
to the smtp transport on your smarthost; if it also acts as
a smarthost for other machines that do have routable names,
you can create a new smtp transport with this option and use
it only for mail from debiansat.domain.net. This should
work, but it will remove any sender header from outgoing
smtp mail (which is why you may want to only use it for
your satellite system).
