Should be a piece of cake.  Here are the relevant lines from my sendmail.mc:

    define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS',`TCP $h 587')dnl
    define(`ESMTP_MAILER_ARGS',`TCP $h 587')dnl
    define(`SMART_HOST', `smtp.comcast.net')dnl
    FEATURE(`authinfo',`hash /etc/mail/auth/client-info')dnl

And in /etc/mail/auth/client-info:

    AuthInfo:smtp.comcast.net "U:root" "I:my_user_name" "P:my_passwd"

And in /etc/mail/auth/Makefile:

    client-info.db: client-info
         makemap hash $@ < $<

                 Do NOT delete it.
