The short answer is no.

If admin_immed_notify is yes, the moderator will receive a notice of
the held post which contains the original post. The moderator could
add an

Urgent: moderator_password

header to that post and resend it to the list. The Urgent: header with
a valid list admin or moderator password will cause the message to be
delivered when processed to all list members both regular and digest
including those with delivery disabled.

This does not result in delivery of the original post but rather the
resent post from the moderator. Also, the Urgent: header must be a
true header and not a "first body line" pseudo header.

Thus, this can be used to accomplish something like part 1 of your
request although it is certainly more cumbersome than you envision.

There is no way to get Mailman to send a digest to regular (non-digest)
list members
