I have a backup CentOS+BQ machine for testing and enabled SMTP AUTH in
the GUI, worked great with LOGIN & PLAIN auth.
The sendmail.cf has been hacked a bit since the machine was setup when I
had some trouble with POP before SMTP, see this for details...

I tried just putting the AuthMechanims and TrustAuthMech options from
the backup server sendmail.cf into the same file on a production machine
and cannot get sendmail to restart...
Dec 19 13:38:10 tpa-hosting sendmail[15356]: NOQUEUE:
SYSERR(root): /etc/mail/sendmail.cf: line 537: unknown configuration
line "0 AuthMechanisms=EXTERNAL GSSAPI DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN"
One question I have is which sendmail.mc is the correct one to use in
building a new sendmail.cf?
/etc/mail/sendmail.mc
/usr/sausalito/configs/sendmail/sendmail.mc
On the backup machine, I used the sausalito version to add a
delay_checks feature so people could AUTH first before checking access
where I block all IP except those with RELAY. All worked fine. The file
also seems to have the appropriate popauth things I was missing in my
post above. I copied this sendmail.cf file to the production server and
sendmail now starts without the error above. However, still keeps
prompting me for password...what to do?
