Blindness means, no Sharingan, no Rinnegan. So no breaking out of it with them. Bringer of Darkness isn't some god-tier level technique that will blind everyone regardless of skill. And Sasuke has experience with both casting and fighting Genjutsu. Hashirama is at more risk of being put under Sasuke's Genjutsu than vice versa.

Secondly, Bringer of Darkness didn't stop Hiruzen from winning the fight, why would it defeat Sasuke? It doesn't disable one's abilities, not even eye powers. With Hashirama's techniques he'd have a hard time not hitting anything with Amaterasu. Amaterasu's fire burns for very long, and wherever thrown would prevent or hamper Hashirama's wood release. Using more wood release won't stop it, merely delay it for a moment. It would only make it more and more difficult for Hashirama to evade it's flames.

And lastly, Sasuke has Six Paths Chakra (which significantly enhances the power of even basic techniques) and the Rinnegan. More than enough to deal with Hashirama.
