In principle ssmtp is a drop-in replacement from sendmail, but it doesn't have full sendmail functionality; it will ignore or bomb on most command-line options. All that ssmtp can do is forward mail to an SMTP server. It can choose which server selectively based on the From address. It doesn't queue; but I use it on a frequently unconnected machine, with a homegrown script to queue mail in such a way that I can ssmtp it later. ssmtp has the benefit of being trivial to configure. Exim is much more powerful, and almost certainly can be used as a complete drop-in sendmail replacement in the way you want.
