If both are implemented correctly, BATV and sender verification callouts
should play well together.

BATV signs the "MAIL FROM:" return envelope address. Callouts should
use that address as the "RCPT TO:" with a null "MAIL FROM:<>". That
null sender will trigger the BATV check, which should test correctly.

If the callout is using the FROM: header received during the DATA phase
with a null sender, that could cause the BATV test to fail.
