Either the MTA (sensibly) ignores SMTP-Auth on the local device or you
have SM configured for Sendmail.

For reference the "sendmail" option in SM does not mean "sendmail is my
MTA", it means "ignore any SMTP daemon that might (or might not) be
running and send messages with the sendmail command line utility."

This option has caused immesurable confusion over the years.

The sendmail command (AFAIK) has no authentication capability.  Again,
this is perfectly sensible, since only a local user could be using it!
