I tried sender_bcc_maps

    tuttlesandbox.cz tuttle+SentFolderBcc

and then "+SentFolderBcc" tag causes maildrop MDA to put the message to
Sent folder.

It looks like working very well. I added the To: and Cc: headers dump to
my ~/.maildrop.log, so the log is really informative, storing evidence
about incoming and also outgoing personal mail.

The remaining problem is blind carbon copies. When I decide to fill Bcc:
when sending mail to someone, MUA stores the Bcc: header to Sent folder,
but this method does not. I'm afraid there is no easy solution for this
or am I wrong?
