This question might get more answers on the MailScanner list

You should be OK with MailScanner's Exim install guide
http://www.sng.ecs.soton.ac.uk/mailscanner/install/exim.shtml
if you follow the "queue_only" alternative.
However, if your mail server doesn't have local users (which implies
that it's OK for locally-generated mail to bypass MailScanner) then
there's another way of configuring it which is more like the Sendmail
setup, and has the advantage of only needing one Exim configuration for
both incoming mail and onward delivery after MailScanner has processed it.
Put this in the configuration file:
SPOOL_DIRECTORY = /var/spool/exim
spool_directory = SPOOL_DIRECTORY
Incoming mail is handled by running Exim like this:
exim -bd -odq -DSPOOL_DIRECTORY=/var/spool/exim.in
(-odq turns on queue_only, and there's no -q10m option because
that would cause mail to be delivered from the incoming queue
rather than going through MailScanner.)
Outgoing mail is handled by a separate Exim queue runner:
exim -q10m
Then in MailScanner's configuration you want:
Incoming Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim.in
Outgoing Queue Dir = /var/spool/exim
MTA = exim
Sendmail = /usr/local/sbin/exim
and no Sendmail2 option.
