If I didn't misunderstand your problem, you can do the same I did for
a plugin I wrote [1]:

With the following snippet you won't have the 404 problem because
sanitize_title_with_translit will be called only for the posts that
are saved.
...
function __enable_fix($post_name) {
	add_action('sanitize_title', 'sanitize_title_with_translit', 0);

	return $post_name;
}

add_filter('pre_post_name', '__enable_fix');
...
