All you need is /usr/lib/sasl/Sendmail.conf. You should tell it what
to authenticate against. I'm using pam, so my Sendmail.conf just
says:
pwcheck_method:PAM
My /etc/pam.d/smtp file says:
#%PAM-1.0
auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
auth required /lib/security/pam_unix_auth.so try_first_pass
account sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so
account required /lib/security/pam_unix_acct.so
Remember, I'm primairly authenticating my ldap users. It defaults to
/etc/sasldb. To create the file, as root run "./saslpasswd -c username"
to create the first user. After that you wont need the -c.
Assuming you've compiled sendmail correctly, you need to tell sendmail
what authentication mechanisms are available. Netscape and OE use
LOGIN and PLAIN. By default, sasl doesnt support PLAIN. You need to
configure it specificaly when you compile it (./configure --with-login).
At least I did.

You'll also need to tell sendmail what auth mechanisms to use. Have a
look here to see what most mail clients support:
