I ran into that for the first time at a different client over this past weekend. Sure surprised me! But with the client I was at on Wednesday, yes, I am sure that I was getting through to my own sendmail. Not only did it id when I telnetted to it, but I was able to find the log file entries from my send attempts. The other information, on setting up better authentication mechanisms looks great! I'll be pursuing that. But, I'm still concerned that if PLAIN authentication isn't working, what makes me think the more complex authentication schemes will? Also, with it *appearing* to work when I'm some places (and the mail actually getting sent), but failing to work when I'm sitting other places, it has me nervous that if I don't track down just what's failing, it will let me down when I really need it. I do have a bit of a safety net, though. I can fire up an ssh session and port forward port 25 through to my server. Then, the Email deposited onto sendmail will be "from" the local host.
