On my office Sendmail system, the sendmail.mc contains the following lines that I believe to be related to authentication.
define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`EXTERNAL DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
Did you recreate the sendmail.cf file and restart sendmail?
What happens if you "telnet mailserver 25" and issue a "ehlo localhost"?
Usually SMTP AUTH on sendmail is a 30-second affair, and you're the first to describe a problem with it. We're going to need more detail to solve it, probably.

>From the same maillog file, a successful send from last night, with my notebook PC sitting on my home network:

That would seem to imply that PLAIN authentication is working just fine. So, why isn't it working today? Argh! Thanks!
the successful send from last night has "mech=PLAIN" which I've also seen in my logs. Check to make sure that The Bat! is not trying to use encrypted authentication (which right now will not work, you need to do more stuff to set it up with SASL). Right now you have PLAIN and LOGIN authentication available, that is, unencrypted.
This sounds like a configuration issue with The Bat!
