See below, it might be a "simple" configuration still?

Can't you filter this on the "from" field?
Eg:
If <from> = <my email> then
{
store in sent items
} else {
store in inbox / parse other rules...
}
With that, I thought there is an option in postfix to bcc a single address on
all emails?
You could then put a filter like the following on all emails coming into that
address:
if <from> in <list of local emails> then
{
store in correct Sent Items
} else {
discard email as we don't want to duplicate incoming email
}
