How to rewrite all requests to index.php and sitemap.xml to sitemap.php

Please help, I have already been doing for 2 days and all in vain...

This code works well for rewriting directories and pages to one index.php page

    DirectoryIndex /index.php
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase /

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d

    RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
    RewriteRule ^(.*) /index.php [NC,L]

    RewriteRule ^/sitemap.xml sitemap.php [L]

The problem with sitemap.xml as it has to be rewritten into sitemap.php rather than into index.php

You would need to put the sitemap rule before the index rule. Rules are processed from top to bottom and once it hits the index rule (because .* would match sitemap.xml), it would stop processing further because of the [L] flag.

Another option would be to just use php and inside index.php, include sitemap.php; when $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] equals sitemap.xml. Same result.
