You probably want to reference $originator_uid ... normally with LDAP or
the like; we don't appear to support passwd lookup by uid, and the
internal variable originator_login does not appear to be exposed as an
expansion variable. I don't know why not ...

The "hosts empty" logic you're using applies for command-line
submission, so you're correct in _how_ you're matching, but the place
_evaluating_ it needs to be called; the SMTP ACLs are *not* called for
non-SMTP submission.

You want to set the non-SMTP case in an ACL plumbed into
"acl_not_smtp_start". And just ignore the hosts check.

acl_not_smtp_connect = acl_localstart

begin acl

acl_localstart:
warn set acl_m_user = ${lookup somemech{$originator_uid}....}
