Wich means each email is in a single plain text file suitable for
sending without any special translations.

What kind of translation do you mean? The only thing you need to
"translate" when sending a message from a Maildir is line endings and
periods at the beginning of lines. Usually SMTP/BSMTP senders take care
of that.

Why BSMTP? Anything wrong with:
exim -i 'email@address' < maildirfile
?

I'm not sure what you mean here. BSMTP is not a mail format but a way to
batch SMTP commands. The actual mail is sent in the same format as in
SMTP, which is basically the same format as the mail stored in a Maildir.

Completely untested script that is called as with fromaddress, toaddress
and mailfile as parameters an outputs BSMTP:
---8<---
#!/bin/sh
echo 'HELO host.example.net'
echo "MAIL FROM:<$1>"
echo "RCPT TO:<$2>"
echo DATA
sed -e 's/^\./../' < $3
exho .
