I don't know of any online tool enabling a search against TrEMBL. You probably will have to set up your own local BLAST environment, roughly following these steps:
- download blast+ - but there might be an easier way to install the software, depending on your operating system (e.g. on Ubuntu you can just
sudo apt install ncbi-blast+
) - download target databases
- build local database
I hope this helps.

UniProt provides a BLAST service (https://www.uniprot.org/blast) which you can run against several UniProt databases, or you could use the Expasy BLAST too, at https://web.expasy.org/blast.
