When doing a fresh install of sendmail, I need to always do

So, what changes between the time that sendmail comes up at boot and
your restart of it that somehow changes the hostname ?
It sounds like you need to add something like this to /etc/mail/sendmail.mc:
define(`confDOMAIN_NAME', `<your_desired_hostname_here>')dnl
You've told sendmail that it is to only listen to 127.0.0.1, and
apparently have not altered /etc/hosts to provide other than
localhost.localdomain for a name.
You may also be better served by simply masquerading as your ISP -
assuming your username matches.
sendmail.conf:
DAEMON_NETMODE="Static";
DAEMON_NETIF="lo";
DAEMON_MODE="Daemon";
sendmail.mc:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Name=MTA-v4, Port=smtp, Addr=127.0.0.1')dnl
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Family=inet, Name=MSP-v4, Port=submission, Addr=127.0.0.1')dnl
define(`confPRIVACY_FLAGS',dnl
