There's no need to include DOMAIN(`generic'); all it does is include the stuff 
in /usr/share/sendmail-cf/domain/generic.m4. If there's anything in there that 
you want, you might as well include it directly in your sendmail.mc file, 
which is then clearer and easier to follow.

Shouldn't really need define(`confTRY_NULL_MX_LIST',true) either; it's only 
needed if you're acting as an MX for some domain that you're not actually 
hosting yourself and you haven't configured where mail for that domain should 
be delivered to using a mailertable entry.

That all looks OK too.

Nothing obviously wrong there that I can see.

Try commenting out the RELAY lines and adding this one instead:
Connect:127		RELAY

See if that helps.

You definitely don't have a file /etc/mail/relay-domains?

Also try putting a version number or date in the VERSIONID string in your 
sendmail.mc file so that you can check that the sendmail.cf contains the same 
version number or date and is hence built from the correct sendmail.mc file. 
If changing sendmail.mc, don't forget to do a "service sendmail reload" after 
rebuilding the sendmail.cf.
