FWIW, sendmail can only run in "non-daemon" mode. It can be invoked locally by other applications when needed, but doesn't need to run as a daemon and bind to port 25/TCP.

If you use ssmtp instead of exim/other_complete_MTA you can still send mail out, but that is all ssmtp does. It is not a deamon either, it runs when it is called then terminates.
