That would defeat the entire purpose of blocking certain mail at the MTA.
I want to REJECT mail while the SMTP session is still open.
If I first ACCEPT mail and then filter it with SpamAssassin, I simply
cannot reject it any more, because the sender address is unreliable. Email
spoofing is all too common and I don't want to be a bounce spammer.

Now if there are people who are going to say that you *can* use
SpamAssassin at the MTA, that would be nice and I will certainly try. But
I'm afraid that adding SpamAssassin to the smtpd_recipient_restrictions
(if it is technically possible at all) might cause a lot of load that I
don't have with a few simple lines of header_checks.
