No, I'm using the stock FreeBSD 10 sendmail, so I don't have SASL
support compiled in.

I was under the impression that SASL support was only required for
server side SMTP authentication, but looking over
  src/contrib/sendmail/src/usersmtp.c
I see that I was mistaken.

Well, that explains it.  Pity that this requires a port.

As far as I can tell, FEATURE(authinfo) only splits out the client
side authentication information into a separate map.  Otherwise,
you can just put it into the access database, assuming you have
FEATURE(access_db).
