Is it possible to have just the sensor in the condensing atmosphere?

If not, then you will need a small 'Hoffman Enclosure' with a NEMA (I
forget the #) rating.

If you use epoxy you may want to use marine epoxy, that's the stuff
they make boat hulls out of, available at boat shops. Also called
'West Epoxy'.
