If you check out the MailScanner Exim guide, there are comments in there
about how to ensure that locally-posted mail is forced to go through
MailScanner.
The other way to force it is to tell Kmail that it is talking to a remote
SMTP server, whose name is "localhost". Then if your MailScanner Exim setup
is correct, it will scan it.
