I think that you will have to use pop/imap server with native
SSL to use pop before smtp. Stunnel proxies incoming
connections to the pop/imap server so that the latter think
that the connection comes from localhost (or over stdin,
depending on stunnel setup). In either way, pop/imap
daemon has no way to tell the real client's IP address
and therefore pop-before-smtp cannot work.
Building UW imapd with SSL support on a RaQ is pretty
straightforward. In any case easier than building sendmail
with SMPT AUTH and SSL which is the alternative ;-)
