OK, so I've got some other questions:

I don't understand the EXTERNAL option, along with LOGIN and PLAIN. I've 
never used it; is it necessary?

Assuming you've got a stock Red Hat-esque sendmail binary that's linked 
against the SASL libraries, and assuming that your 
/usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf file points to saslauthd as the 
password-checking mechanism -- have you started the saslauthd daemon?
