My Samsung smart remote controls the volume of the speakers just fine, but when I turn off the TV the system is still powered on. Is there a way to shut off the system when the tv is turned off?

No.
 

Sonos devices are designed to be “always on” and go into a low power mode when not used for a short period. 

Remote controlled electronics can never completely power down. Otherwise they would not be able to receive and process commands, but they can reduce power use by powering down power hungry sections, such as displays and audio amplifiers. Audio amplifiers require several seconds to stabilize as they startup. SONOS keeps the amplifier alive for a few minutes after the last audio is detected. This avoids nuisance audio delays that may occur if an aggressive power saver shuts down the amplifier after a couple seconds of silence.  Many audio and video tracks include many seconds of silence at one or both ends.
