Change /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf to contain something like:

pwcheck_method: auxprop
mech_list: PLAIN LOGIN CRAM-MD5 DIGEST-MD5
log_level: 3
auxprop_plugin: sasldb

Then use "saslpasswd2" to create the /etc/sasldb2 with your user data.
Be sure the file is chowned by root and chmod 600, because the auth data
is stored in this db file in plain format. Read about the SASL auth. You
will need to care for the realm being part of the username.
"sasldblistusers2" will list created sasldb2 users.
