I don't know how to do this with sendmail but I think you should setup
sendmail to do smptmail authentication. A workaround is to use the
latest smtpmail.el from the cvs branch (you are using this with
21.3.50) and setup direct sending to your ISP mail server. The
following example connects to the 1und1 mail server:

,----
| (setq smtpmail-smtp-server "auth.mail.onlinehome.de")
| (setq smtpmail-auth-credentials 
|       '(
|       ("auth.mail.onlinehome.de" 25 "cc35217168-1" "xxxxxx")
|       ))
`----

Another possiblility is to setup a postfix server to do this. Please,
see lately discussion in this group how to do this.

That's exactly my setup (with gmx instead of 1und1). The same
configuration works with smtp authentication on windows. I just
realized that smtpmail-auth-credentials seems not to be available
while I write this posting (i.e. C-h v doesn't know it). Is this normal?

Correct, I took the one from Emacs CVS an it works fine for me with
Emacs 21.3.

You need to authenticate yourself.  See the "SMTP" manual, part of
your Emacs installation.
