All your Daemon_options (`port... definitions are turned off (dnl).
You have effectively told sendmail to not listen to anybody.
At a minimum you need "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')" 
turned on for local mail to move, or "DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')" 
to listen to all interfaces.

You hope everybody uses it, and
you notice quickly if they don't!!!!
