It's awfully hard to tell what might have been going on from this description but I suspect there was more at work than just the mailertable entry Steve mentioned. The mailertable entry on SMTP1 should have had no effect on SMTP2 that I can see, in fact, I don't know why anthing on SMTP2 needed to be changed to accomodate SMTP1 relayed mail. Perhaps if you posted your sendmail configurations, both the one that didn't work and the one that does work so the differences are apparent someone may be able to point out what may have been happening. Did you ask on the comp.mail.sendmail news group? They have very good folks that can usually spot problems quickly.
