My setup is single user running Redhat linux 6.2. Connected by ppp to an ISP and sending with local sendmail to ISP mail machine Normally I set the smart_host to my ISPs smtp.machine. That is temporarily broken for now. I have a second smtp.server that I can use. The smtp side of newsguy.com. I use that pop server routinely. But suddenly find I don't know how to authenticate my relay to an smtp.server that is not part of the isp I'm dialed up with. I know how to set /etc/sendmail.cf to relay to that server but not how to authenticate my outgoing relay to that machine. In fact, not really sure where those smtp negotiations get handled.
