Mail delivery can still work with sendmail turned off. The daemon is
just there to receive mail.
This guy explains it better than I can:

There's no reason to turn the MTA on unless you're running a mail
server. Non-mail servers should just have a cron job flushing the
submission queue just in case, but the MTA itself doesn't need to run.
