I'd say never.  To do DMARC rejects you have to do all of the
validation in the SMTP daemon, which is before anything has a chance
to create an A-R header.

Of course this is possible with the Milter protocol introduced by Sendmail and used also by Postfix. The mail traverses during the SMTP phase through different milters, e.g. a SPF milter, followed by a DKIM milter, and every milter injects an AR header with its results. The last milter is a DMARC milter that processes the AR headers and signals the SMTP daemon do either accept or reject the message. This is how OpenDKIM & OpenDMARC work together.

Other projects do it all in one milter (rspamd?)...
