'sendmail' on workstations is usually configured to accept mail from
127.0.0.1 only.  For what do you need SMTP auth there? And I am in doubt
that 'mailx' (which provides the 'mail' command e.g. used by cron) is
capable for doing SMTP auth.

So, SMTP auth is required for a very limited use case (outbound SMTP
servers) only.

But this does not matter... current 'sendmail' packaging enforces
installation of 'cyrus-sasl' although 'sendmail' works without this
package too. You would have everytime the option to install additional
software which is needed for your setup.
