Is DKIM usefull only for antispam tools ?

We need some way to prevent email spoofing, at least inside our domain.
Can I imagine a architecture of email services that will use DKIM
signature and SMTP/AUTH in order to detect spoofing of the sender in
local emails ?
I mean a way to reject messages issued from my local domain sent to my
local domain but that are not signed using DKIM ? It seems easy if DKIM
signature is added only to authenticated emails, but what about messages
that comes from an external service.

It is exactly the case with
ddx@internet2;edu
: my message is sent
signed but I will receive it back with a broken signature.
