By default, fetchmail delivers by making an SMTP connection to localhost.
If there is no SMTP server running on localhost, then fetchmail will fail.
You removed the SMTP server when you uninstalled sendmail.

You can tell fetchmail to skip the SMTP attempt and deliver directly to
procmail. My ~/.fetchmailrc looks like this:

defaults protocol POP3 fetchall nokeep mda "procmail -d $LOGNAME"
poll mail.isp1.com   username MyUsername1   password MyPassword1
poll mail.isp2.net   username MyUsername2   password MyPassword2
