WHITELIST_FROM_RCVD require to know mailserver name

Take this example :
whitelist_from_rcvd *@axkit.org      sergeant.org

We want to accept all domain axkit.org and we are sure that is not spoofing when it come from names that end with domain sergeant.org

But if I have only email address I cant write a line like this, I don't know mailserver domain

Based on what you're trying to do:

man dig

or depending on your resolver possibly:

man drill

Whilst I agree it is slightly more effort to set-up whitelisting by looking up the details first it would still be far more resource efficient on your servers.

Personally I tend to just read the headers of a received mail since that tends to give a very big clue as to what the pattern will be. If they can't send a single message through without whitelisting there are probably bigger worries that the easiest way to maintain such records. Again, it is admittedly slightly more effort to set-up but it still reduces the overheard of a DNS query to check the MX every time and allows senders to utilise different inbound and outbound servers (also mails through websites and third party companies).

However to th best of my knowledge the short answer to your original question is: "No, there's nothing (publicly) available to do what you want to do. You'll need to code it yourself or use some of the alternatives that have been suggested". I think most of us wouldn't use such a plugin since it is so easy to optimise that process by doing a single DNS query at set-up rather than checking the MX of every incoming email.
