No. Just as there is no user-specific relayhost for sender '<>'. Clearly
there is no universal password for sending bounces via all SMTP servers,
and since mail from "<>" takes the default route, it uses the default
(nexthop-specific) password policy.

This is correct as designed. The sender-specific stuff is for SOHO users
who want outbound mail sourced via their outside email service provider.
This is clearly not appropriate for "<>". For mail addressed from users
with outside mailboxes use "relayhost" and whatever password policy you
have for "relayhost".
