That's what I assume my ISP (Demon, domain demon.co.uk) actually does.
Mail for my domain (free-lunch.demon.co.uk) actually delivers to some
temporary store. This can be accessed via POP, but when I dial up,
the successful authentication signals some program to attempt to
deliver from this temporary store to the SMTP port on my machine.

The trigger is the authentication (I assume), but this could just as
easily be done by ETRN. This solution completely avoids queue
processing, but an external process is spawned (but in Demon's case
once per client dial-up, not once per ETRN request).
