In 8.3-PRERELEASE, sendmail is now happily ignoring a smarthost unless DONT_PROBE_INTERFACES is set. That used to be unnecessary.

That machine rarely sends email, but a bug followup sent on Feb 25 went through. Maybe not significant since it was outside the local domain.

Adding an IPv6 entry for the hostname to /etc/hosts prevents the problem without requiring DONT_PROBE_INTERFACES. (Thanks to George Shapiro!)

This brings up the question of why an IPv6 hosts entry is needed on an IPv4-only system, but that's for another thread.

Or not, updating and rebuilding seems to have everything back to normal. Most likely I built a GENERIC kernel with IPv6 instead of a custom one without.
