Thanks for your response, but no joy -- I get the same output  from
saslauthd -v  and sendmail still thinks it has no mechanisms.
I can only speak to the cyrus-sasl side of things (we use Postfix not Sendmail here), but this smells like there's another config file that you're not editing because you don't know it exists.

Maybe your sendmail is running chrooted? If so, the socket that saslauthd is listening on might not be visible to sendmail, or at least not be at the path you think it is. On Debian, saslauthd listens in two locations, one for chrooted postfix and one for non-chrooted cyrus.

Maybe some exploratory breaking of things will help. Introduce a deliberate typo into a config file to be sure that something is reading it. Run saslauthd under strace or equivalent and see what files it is asking the OS to read. Stop saslauthd entirely and see if sendmail's behaviour
changes.

Also: saslauthd (auth server) doesn't itself read sendmail.conf; that looks like it's something that the libsasl (auth client) library is doing under Sendmail. Make sure that you look at
saslauthd's config file (/etc/saslauthd.conf) too.
