My advice: take it step by step.

First, get SMTP AUTH working using the mechanisms LOGIN and PLAIN, which 
merely ask for a username and password and do not do any encryption. The 
only thing needed is to make sure that the following three lines are in 
your sendmail.mc:

define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', A')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS',`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl

Recreate your sendmail.cf file following the instructions at the top of the 
sendmail.mc (but make a backup copy first!).

Now, go check /etc/pam.d/smtp. It should look identical to /etc/pam.d/pop 
on stock RedHat systems. If it doesn't exist, merely copy the pop file to 
name smtp; no changes necessary. Tell the Sendmail.conf file to use pwcheck 
as a method.

Restart sendmail.

Your AUTH should work now for LOGIN and PLAIN if you have a recent 
sendmail. If your email client supports encryption (e.g. Eudora), 
specifically tell it *not* to use encryption. Everything should be OK.

Encryption is a second step, and I'm just barely starting to try and figure 
it out so I can't help you.
