Probably.  Exim certainly can.  (The config.samples directory contains a
variety of configuration files, including those that look up users in a
variety of ways besides getpwnam()//etc/passwd.  It also can impose its
own quotas on non-login users.)

Another way of handling this is to use the Cyrus IMAPD (and POP3) server
which handles all mail deliveries and IMAP/POP services within a closed
system (it is the only thing to touch mail deliveries or accesses).  You
tell your MTA to use it for local deliveries.
