I assume that means you got a rebuilt sendmail.cf before restarting 
sendmail, but you'll want to make sure.

I also assume that you've defined the access_db feature in your 
sendmail.mc file.

That said, I don't include the relay_hosts_only FEATURE at all. I just 
add the IP addresses of the hosts that can relay into the access file, 
e.g.,

1.2.3.4		RELAY

Works for me.
