Also, is saslauthd running?
It seems that SASLv2 on RHEL4.1 REQUIRES saslauthd to be running but SASL on RHELv1 does not,
so a
service saslauthd start chkconfig --level 345 saslauthd on
did the trick...
P. Ps: I also found this very useful http://www.joreybump.com/code/howto/smtpauth.html

Dear All,
I have two machines, a Centos 3.4 machine and a Centos 4.1 machine. I have used the same sendmail.mc file on each, and 3.4 machine does plain SMTP auth with no problems, compiling the same mc file on the 4.1 machine gives this error:
xxxxx [x.x.x.x] did not issue MAIL/EXPN/VRFY/ETRN during connection to MTA
I usually see that message when the SSL/TLS handshake failed in some way. Can you get a good connection to sendmail using openssl?
# openssh s_client -connect your.mail.host:25 -starttls smtp
It reports this from the EHLO so all looks good: 250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES 250-PIPELINING 250-8BITMIME 250-SIZE 250-DSN 250-ETRN 250-AUTH DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN 250-DELIVERBY 250 HELP
Hmm. It'd be helpful to know your authentication chain:
The contents of /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf
The contents of $MECH in /etc/sysconfig/saslauthd
