Sorry, I'm not much further than you, but maybe a bit. I've got sid,
so YMMV.
I've installed the sasl libs and modules (would be nice, if there
where some dependencies helping in finding them or a file listing
them; don't install sasl2 which is not supported). Then and I added
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5')dnl
to sendmail.mc and used saslpasswd to register a password. The log
shows that CRAM-MD5 will be used by default by my MUA. What fooled me
a lot was that I needed to specify a realm (domain) to do so, as the
default didn't work. This seems to work for me, but not from a Windows
box. Also, I'm having troubles defining the certificate for TLS, which
I installed running the script update_tls. Maybe this helps you, or
even, you find out some more and can share your wisdom...
