UW supports more mailstore formats than anything else, so you can easily
use whatever MTA you like, and then just worry about building UW to
support the appropriate backend later. It's a good choice for a small
setup where fancy features aren't needed. You can plug procmail into it
relatively easily too.

Are hacks like this really necessary anymore? SMTP AUTH support should
be widespread enough by now, surely? Mozilla/Evolution at the least
offer client side support, and sendmail has offered server side support
for ages. I don't know about Exim/PostFix, but I can't believe they
don't offer support yet.
