If you just want the result then one option will be to use a particle simulation instead of relying on the volume scatter - ie, have a particle emitter taking place of the light source, bounce the particles off a surface. The particles will follow the path that light would have taken (if you disable other forces, such as gravity). | |

Cycles is a Reverse Ray Tracer and so optimises the rays to only those that return to the camera. For your situation you would need it to forward ray trace to trace the rays from the light source through the mirror and onwards (possibly) to the camera. For what you want you possibly want to use something like Lux - see blender.stackexchange.com/a/229191/29586 | |
