I have now followed the instructions on this page 
(http://www.puresimplicity.net/~hemi/freebsd/sendmail.html) exactly and the 
ssl connection to my pop/imap server works fine, but still I get the same 
error below when sending mail:

Oct  6 15:06:07 server sendmail[97165]: i96D66fM097165: 
from=<andreas at wideroe.net>, size=0, class=0, nrcpts=0, proto=ESMTP, 
daemon=MTA, relay=my.ip.hostname.com [80.202.145.187]
Oct  6 15:06:16 server sendmail[97173]: STARTTLS=server, 
relay=my.ip.host.com [my.ip], version=TLSv1/SSLv3, verify=NO, 
cipher=EDH-DSS-DES-CBC3-SHA, bits=168/168
Oct  6 15:06:17 server sendmail[97173]: i96D6GfM097173: ruleset=check_rcpt, 
arg1=<andreas at eunet.no>, relay=my.ip.hostname.com [my.ip], reject=550 5.7.1 
<andreas at eunet.no>... Relaying denied. Proper authentication

When I issue an ehlo localhost on port 25 of the smtp server I get this:

250-ENHANCEDSTATUSCODES
250-PIPELINING
250-8BITMIME
250-SIZE
250-DSN
250-ETRN
250-AUTH PLAIN LOGIN
250-STARTTLS
250-DELIVERBY
250 HELP

Now I'm really lost...

Any help?

Thanks!
Andreas
