Need urgent help to get Sendmail running again

You email didn't state if you rebuilt sendmail too, when you rebuilt 
world.  This is an option in /etc/make.conf.  The current sendmail is 
8.13.7 so you may not have rebuilt sendmail.

The logs show that you are not able to authenticate to localhost, but your 
email didn't state how you have sendmail configured to do authentication.

I have seen this error a number of times, when the
authentication you have configured in your .cf files is not matched by the 
sendmail compiler flags.  Also in /etc/make.conf you should have any 
special sendmail compile options.
