I think the file should be more like this. I don't know how it is with
Sendmail, but with Postfix I'm using this to authenticate users with PAM:

ihsan at enterprise:/opt/csw/lib/sasl2$ cat smtpd.conf
pwcheck_method: saslauthd
mech_list: plain login

saslauthd is nasty if it's not working as expected, especially because
it doesn't give enough log messages. What you can do is, to start
saslauthd by hand with the option -d (debug) and see the console messages.

Hope this helps.
