The second part of my mail that you conveniently removed actually explains why that doesn't work: because the SASL auth is inherently per-user configuration but in sendmail you can configure it only globally for the client side. There is a major mismatch between per-user credentials which you need for SMTP SASL and the per-system instance of sendmail.
