I suspected that might be the problem but was pretty sure it would be
apparent from any error messages.. yet nothing in the log or verbose
smtp output seems to indicate a problem there.

I thought perhaps the cert stuff was handled some other way.  I've
never had that stuff in sendmail.mc since 1997 and have connected to a
large variety of smtp servers, most of which demand authentication.

I'll assume by your question that you already know that needs to be
there.  So looking into how that is done.   My googling on this whole
thing had already turned up a few different ways but I blew right over
them since nothing in the error seems to indicate a problem there.

I'll post that stuff once I get it figured out how to add it.
