In the US, we would say "How dare anyone say that it was his fault?" or "How could anyone dare to say.."
"How did anyone dare to say..." is also grammatically correct, but it doesn't feel as natural to me

"How dared anyone..." I've never heard (in UK English). "How dare anyone..." however is perfectly fine.

Both are fine, but "how dared anyone" is actually a bit more common. You can see the relative frequencies of the terms on this chart:
