4 I think it's the other way around.

6 Sendmail is told to support authentication via one or more methods, one
7 of which can be SASL and co.
8
9 The actual SASL auth daemon just listens on a unix socket and / or TCP
10 port for clients to test authentication pairs, returning a pass fail
11 type message.

20 Very annoying, definitely.
21
22 I don't know if it's strange yet or not. I think the strangeness will
23 be confirmed or refuted after finding out why Sendmail isn't offering
24 AUTH options.
25
26 My favorite thing to turn to when things that used to work and now don't
27 is to restore a backup of the configuration file and compare them. Can
28 you do that with your sendmail.cf or sendmail.mc file?
29
30 There's also a chance that it's your submit.cf or submit.mc file since
31 we're talking about the MSA on port 587. (Unless you aren't using the
32 separate MSA which has been standard for 15+ years.)
