If you can find a .deb of the package version you want, something like: dpkg --force-downgrade --install sendmail-whatever.deb should do the trick. Be aware that forcing a downgrade doesn't check for dependencies on the newer, replaced version of the package.
Which is why you shouldn't use the force flag in that case. Just installing the old version is sufficient.
