It's not even clear they made a real deal just that Kaecilius heard about it, stole a book to find out more mainly how to summon him and that Dormammu realized he was useful decided to basically give him power so he can be free. The Black Samurai was the main focus with it first being a ruse then the real one taking over from the remainder of the film. Dormammu acts more as a plot device that is more vague with that solely sid something outright at the end before then immediately being dealt with. Dormammu's plan was "merge dimensions and rule" vs Kaecilius' "merge dimensions to free a godlike entity, put an end to death to reunite with is family and make a utopia for everyone" the later is a bigger goal. The main focus was stop Kaecilius in the film with him also doing pretty much everything with his group without even a lot of help.
