You'll need to tell sendmail to just queue the mail for delivery, not actually 
deliver it.

in /etc/mail/sendmail.conf, you'll something like:
DAEMON_PARMS="-bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn -ODeliveryMode=queueonly 
-OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in";

then get Mailscanner to pick up the mail from the queue, scan it, and put it 
back into sendmail's delivery queue.

in /etc/MailScanner/MailScanner.conf:
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue.in
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/mqueue

sendmail doesn't directly call mailscanner, both run as separate processes and 
just put the necessary files where the other can find them,

Yes. Assuming that the pop3 accounts are system accounts, it's very easy.  
Install sasl-bin and some sasl modules:

apt-get install sasl-bin libsasl-modules-plain

and run sendmailconfig, which should detect the presense of sasl-bin and 
enable smtp auth.
After sendmail reconfigures and reloads, connect to port 25 (presumably) and 
issue a 'ehlo' and you should see what auth mechs are supported.
