In that case, would "he felt" be the main independent clause, even though its meaning isn't complete on its own?
Yes Independent. Think about it this way... he felt <something>.

So, this is independent.

In that case, would "he felt" be the main independent clause, even though its meaning isn't complete on its own?
Yes, the independent clause is "He felt [something]".
Here [something] = Dependant Clause
= "[that] he would probably be promoted...."

But, when simplifying this type of sentence, I find it helpful to mentally remove the "He said that" and examine what remains.
In this case, what remains is "He will probably be promoted after this project as it was so successful in attracting new customers."

BTW, your sample sentence needs to use WOULD rather than WILL.
So the sentence should be "He FELT (that) he WOULD probably be promoted after this project as it was so successful in attracting new customers."

When we report what someone said in the past about the future, we use WOULD, not WILL.

This next sentence, however, is fine with WILL:
"He FEELS (that) he WILL probably be promoted after this project."
