I have the following in my .emacs, which seem to do what you
requested.  Unfortunately, I don't know who deserves credit for these.

;;make gnus the only mail mode
(require 'message)
(require 'gnus-msg)

(define-mail-user-agent 'gnus-user-agent
  'gnus-mail 'message-send-and-exit
  'message-kill-buffer 'message-send-hook)

(defun gnus-mail (&rest args)
  "Start editing a mail message to be sent gnus style.
  Use message mode as the underlying agent."
    (unless (and (fboundp 'gnus-alive-p) (gnus-alive-p))
      (gnus-no-server)
      (gnus-group-suspend))
    (gnus-setup-message 'message (apply 'message-mail args)))

(setq mail-user-agent 'gnus-user-agent)
