You can't - there's no concept of engine discovery in this scenario.

This is where the -e option comes into play.
Rather than configuring your trap receiver with the engineID of
every single trap sender - you can simply lie.
  Configure the trap receiver with a single, fixed engine ID,
and then specify this engine ID as part of the "trapsess" entry
in each snmpd.conf file.

That way everyone is agreed on the engineID to use - even if
it's not strictly the "correct" one.
