It could be worth looking at static site generators like Hugo or Jekyll. These tend to be a lot less full-featured than anything like a CMS, but they also tend to mean very simple content administration. Somebody has to be willing to work with raw text files, but there are a lot more accessible text editors than there seem to be accessible CMS page editors. And when you generate the site, the output is raw HTML, so you can scan for accessibility locally without having to run a web server. You don't have to worry about the logged-in user's experience separately from the anonymous user's experience. Administration is all done in flat text files, which, though cumbersome, means again that accessibility isn't a problem you have to solve for admins.
