And exactly somewhere there is your issue!

sm-mta-rx is failing according to your log. We can't judge if more is
failing as you did not post any further log content showing connection
problems.

I know what the dual Sendmail setup is, used it some time in the past,
dropped it when the milter came out.

Repeated, your issue at this point is the sm-mta-rx instance.
Unfortunately you did not provide the complete configuration, especially
not the config with the sm-mta-rx definition. At least sm-mta-rx does
not transport the mail to amavis but tries to deliver it to the primary
mail server.
