If you have a LaCrosse WS28xx station then according to the hardware guide the station outputs PRESSURE in weewx terminology - regardless of what LaCrosse call it - and weewx should calculate barometer and altimeter settings.
If pressure is incorrect then it can be adjusted as you specified - by adjusting pressure (not barometer or altimeter) Make sure pressure is set to use hardware and barometer and altimeter are set to use software. I am surprised barometer and altimeter are the same values - have you set the station's altitude in weewx.conf, and have you specified software generation for the values?
