No luck. Although I redirected LMTP option from alias to virtual:
action "cyrus" lmtp "/var/cyrus/socket/lmtp" rcpt-to virtual <virtuals>
and there are no aliases in match section:
match !from local for domain <domains> action "cyrus"
match from local for local action "cyrus"
SMTP now attempts to deliver alias email to itself over MTA instead of MDA:
mta connecting address=smtp://217.147.40.110:25 host=sala.online.lt
mta connected

MDA still attepts to deliver mail to users (user=uolys), both externally
and internally:

Why do not alias are accepted but never redirect email to users
specified in /etc/mail/aliases via alias <aliases>? After smtpctl
update table aliases(and domains, ip, virtual). Although users linked
in the alias table are always recognised:
mda delivery evpid=… from=<[email protected]>
to=<[email protected]> rcpt=<[email protected]> user=*uolys* delay=…

I think the user=uolys here means OpenSMTPD will connect to the LMTP
socket using the uolys user, which may not be what you want (in my
case, it says user=lmtp-delivery).
For my setup with LMTP and virtual users, I only use virtual for
aliasing, with full email addresses (e.g. alias [email protected]
to [email protected], not postmaster to me), and it works.
