Yes, I can imagine allowing pop-before-smtp to have the local
domain added, although presumably this is the same sort of logic
as real authentication. As a user I tend to think of it in
terms of the smtpd_*_restrictions and permit_mynetworks et al.
although I am not sure that that is the area of code that does
the re-writing.

If this can be sorted out then it would be a major gain.
Thank you for looking into it.
