No, certainly they don't give up.

The original log message was:

Feb 13 19:38:23 ciscy sendmail[28257]: j1E1cJo7028257: AUTH failure
(CRAM-MD5): user not found (-20) SASL(-13): user not found: no secret in
database

So add a user to the sasldb2 using saslpasswd2 and be sure you use the
correct realm to authenticate then! If you do not pass a realm with the
saslpasswd2 command, then your hostname is used as realm. Your login
name is then

user at hostname

If you leave away the realm, then of course the user will not be found.
