See if /usr/ports/mail/sendmail-sasl is what you need

My ISP requires authentication, so I had to install that port and then
add the "AuthInfo" line in /etc/mail/access

My ISP is only using plain authentication, but sasl will work for more
exotic needs, I understand.

But, of course, if it ain't broke then don't try to fix it :)
