As said previously... if Exim could it would be bloatware :-)

Suggest that you compile/configure Exim on the same box on a non-standard
port number to start with. Test it (exim -bt) and ensure that it (a) listens
(b)
delivers as you would expect and then re-configure sendmail to smarthost
over to Exim.

Only problem is that you'll need slightly more disk space during the
sendmail->exim
delivery but it'll work :)
