I can confirm that:
- imp slaves sold in Archon Delain space work. LTT 9455 had two small stations with black markets and no mail slot or patrols. I sold 12 slaves to each, because someone suggested that a single item may not suffice to make it count. No idea if that's true or not.
- After relogging each time, my Black market count increased by one at each station.
- With my black markets traded count now properly listed at 5/5, The Dweller is still not unlocked.
I found posts as early as early 2017, complaining about this, but I guess FD hasn't looked into it...?
Or there's another work-around besides logging out and back in?

Board hop. It will load usually but it may takes a few tries of logging in and out or closing and opening the game to make it happen.
Finally got round to doing this over the last two days 
my advice.......
Search eddb.io for you nearest station selling tobacco then head there and buy 8.
Search eddb.io for fed systems with a black market and then sit in the galaxy map checking them BEFORE you set off as for some reason most will be disabled.
Head to the system and station you've chosen dock, sell and then check if it's registered.
This is the important part, if it hasn't quit to main menu and then reload and check again.
I spent Friday night doing this and only two registered despite visiting and selling at about six different systems spent an hour using the above method targeting outposts only and got three for three despite them not originally registering

I tried that once and no good . I think it got nerfed. The station don't allow you to sell at same station
Just going to drop this here for those that are still stuck on this:
You need to use STOLEN goods, not illicit cargo.
Easy Steps:
1. Go to a station you care literally nothing for
2. Take their contracts
3. Abandon them
4. (Optional) Contemplate paying the fine or not
5. Travel to the next station/system with a Black Market
6. Sell some (not all!)
7. Panel will update once you dock at the next station/system, just repeat till finished.

Except Illicit Cargo does the work. How do I know? That’s how I accomplished it. I smuggled battle weapons and slaves for 4 of my BMs. You don’t have to accept a mission and then just ignore it to accomplish this task.
Any time and every time I've tried that, though there is only one ship and me on the radar. My first shot on him bring the cops. Now I've got a bounty for fireing on a clean ship, and one to three cops to deal with. Where do you find time to scoop, and avoid the cops at the same time?

That's good to know, thanks
An issue I discovered with stations failing to update having sold to their black markets, is that the game 'forgets' the illicit status of your cargo after moving from one system to another, or logging out/back in. (Even though it visually will still show the materials as stolen/etc)
What I did to ensure if re-registered the materials was exit super cruise into normal space somewhere near the station I wanted to sell an item to. I'd drop the cargo into space and scoop it back up, and that would restore the identifier on the materials. I'd immediately go back to the station to sell it and it would register correctly. Once all 5 sales were completed and updated correctly on the Engineer tracker, log out and log back in to force generate the contact invite from Dweller to get access.
