Is it possible to send faxes (scanned with xsane) from an ADSL modem?

I've used efax and mgetty+sendfax in the past but these seem to require
standard fax modem.

No.  What you want is technically not possible.  DSL hardware
communicates at frequencies far above those of voice-based telecomm
hardware.  That would be like asking if you could make a regular
phonecall through your DSL modem. Fax machines use the voice spectrum,
as does a standard modem.  You would still need a standard fax modem.
