This only works if the alias address (w...@example.com, ...) is in
a local domain, i.e. the domain part is in $mydestination. Since
only local(8) mail uses aliases(5).

This only works if the alias address (w...@example.com, ...) is in
a local domain, i.e. the domain part is in $mydestination or in
$myorigin. See virtual(5).

Instead of setting "local_transport = dovecot-sa" set:
mailbox_transport = dovectot-sa
and remove the "local_transport" override from main.cf.
