It is a fine question and good reasoning and logic but I'd like to add and/or point out some things:

-The time of this war, when would it be? Around the same time that Men were, originally, granted aid from Kyne andPaarthunax? Later? How much later? 4E?

-Depending on the time of the war I would think the dragons would have been far more likely to fight the Ayleids of Cyrodiil rather than the Altmeri of Summerset. That does not negate the magical advantage the Mer have over Man that you mentioned (proof would be the Ayleid wells and mention of all those welkynd stones, etc).

So to answer your question: against the Altmer? I believe that war would have been less likely due to the distance and the proximity of another people; the Ayleid. Could a war between the dragons and the Ayeild have happened? Possible. They were close enough, they could be seen as competitors for slaves and thus worthy of taking on and conquering. Why didn't the dragons attack is an interesting question. Was it because they couldn't be bothered by the magic the elves wielded? Was there never just a good time? Were the dragons being lazy and going "I'll do it tomorrow"?
