Try sending an email. As soon as you're client is done, go to the server and type:
# tail -n 50 /var/log/maillog
You should see some information regarding the authentication and if there were any errors or not.
I did what you suggested above... Well actually I do not know yet how to read log files but it seems that there was no authentication but I did saw some errors if that is what they are called like below?

It looks like the server upstream, vc.point.ne.jp is unavailable, or otherwise not responding. I would try to ping the IP address of that server. If that succeeds, try to telnet on port 25 (telnet host 25) and type ehlo <yourhostnamehere> once connected. You should see a list of features on that server, including whether or not Authentication is available.
In regards to the AuthInfo format, that looks right from my sendmail knowledge, but I've never used it, as I run a completely separate mail server, not a relay.
I've forwarded this message, along with the original to the freebsd-questions list for google's sake.
