I made that change you suggested in the webmin interface (sendmail.m4) and rebuilt it from there.
You can m4 rebuild the sendmail.cf from the sendmail section in webmin? I wouldn't be to sure about that. I haven't ever noticed that might be possible (I use webmin only to manage the various sendmail databases, not the configuration). Do you have sendmail-devel installed? Removing the localhost from daemon options won't change anything. It was working before, just with a timeout (which means the settings from this file were not in use!), so sendmail *is* listening on all interfaces already. Now, by recompiling the sendmail.cf from m4/mc files (if that really was done) that you may have never used before you might have introduced more problems. If your sendmail.cf did not change a tiny bit from before the working state then the problem is *not* in sendmail.cf, but somewhere else. And Stephen's hints to DNS and the connection to rebooting make sense to me. Anyway, it cannot be sendmail.cf unless you changed it and didn't restart it after the change. (If you made all changes with webmin then it got restarted each time.)
