the lines necessary are part of the sendmail.mc in the
distribution...just remove the dnl at the start of the lines.

No doubt you are 'recycling' sendmail.mc files from older distro's
because the info is there in the last 3 or 4 versions. I would bet that
you would find it in /etc/mail/sendmail.mc.rpmsave

define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A')dnl
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(`DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN PLAIN')dnl
define(`confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `DIGEST-MD5 CRAM-MD5 LOGIN')dnl
