Don't know about exim but for sendmail it is perfectly possible,
well-supported and indeed easy. Whether that is a useful configuration
depends on your needs, but I've used it with success in situations
where client programs can execute "sendmail" binary to send mail as an
alternative to via port 25 - surprisingly many have that option.
In Debian the right way to do this is editing /etc/mail/sendmail.conf
(set DAEMON_MODE="none").
