Do you actually have authentication configured in Sendmail?  Some email 
clients will attempt to authenticate against Sendmail by default (for 
example Thunderbird), and this will sometimes fail if Sendmail is not 
configured to authenticate users.  If you don't need user authentication 
in Sendmail (most people don't), and if you don't have it configured, 
simply turn it off in the client.
