You should seriously consider setting up a router that allows you to use
auth user names as local parts (or, alternatively, changing the auth
user names to match the existing local parts), though. With
sender_retain, you're trusting your users to set the correct From
address, which is trivially spoofable. Tony's verify=sender suggestion
will ensure that the bounces are deliverable, but it can't ensure that
they're deliverable to the user who actually deserves them.

This is particularly important if you allow users to send mail From
shared role accounts.
