A more likely recipe for success would be the replacement of Churchill with a more compliant individual. Had the RAF lost air superiority over southeast England during the early phase of the Battle of Britain, it's possible that a vote of no confidence in Churchill's leadership at that early stage might have resulted in a more appeasement-focused government that was willing to make a deal with Hitler. That would give Hitler precisely what he wanted - a single-front war against the USSR. There would be no threat from the US because of the lack of operating bases near Europe and history would be very different...with no need for the German military to invade the UK (at least not in an opposed sense).
I don't think that Hitler would have relied on a friendly British government; he would have demanded an occupation. I don't think any British government would tolerate that.
