Ok, you should do an LDAP query to make sure that your directory is
responding properly.
Hrm???
Oh. You're not really doing LDAP, are you?

Ok, then use this test script instead:

 > cat >ldapquery <<EOF
 > #!/bin/sh
 > echo /map ldapmra $@ |/usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -C/etc/mail.sendmail.cf
|tail +3
 > echo
 > echo /map ldapmh $@ |/usr/sbin/sendmail -bt -C/etc/mail.sendmail.cf
|tail +3
 > echo
 > EOF
 > chmod a+x ldapquery
 > ./ldapquery username at mydomain.com

(You should change the script to reflect the location of the sendmail.cf
file that you want to test.)
If the "LDAP map" configured in sendmail is working, you should see
something like:
 > ... returns username at yourdomain.com

Sorry I didn't take the time to review/debug your sendmail.mc.
If you let us know about the results from above, that should narrow
things down a bit.

You wouldn't use the LDAP routing feature for mail that is to be
delivered to your local machine, since your local machine already knows
what usernames it's capable of delivering to locally...
I'm not sure about the local-host-names file. I thought that this was
only for locally delivered stuff.

I'm doing "actual" LDAP routing, so I'm not sure if there's a difference
between your setup and mine here, but...
I use the access file to declare what's delivered locally (w/ an "OK")
and what's relayed. (w/ a "RELAY" value)

Hmm. I never bothered to list locally delivered stuff in mailertable.
The lines for the relayed domains look ok to me.
