C: connect to MX2
S: 250 welcome
C:  HELO MTA1
S: 250 HELLO there!   (ignore any validation here for the moment)
C: MAIL FROM: MTA1@MX1
--- BEGIN WCSAP VALIDATION ---
C: connect to MX1
S: 250 welcome
C:  HELO MX2
S:  250  Hello!
C:  RCPT TO: MTA1@MX1
S:  552 - Sorry doesn't exist
C: QUIT
S: 250
--- END WCSAP VALIDATION return 4xx or 5xx depending on policy ---
S: 552,  Local user not found!
C: QUIT

I don't see the problem.

Also, keep in mind that a  return path is persistent cross all routes.
