Your examples are showing the handoff between untrusted local mail
client using SMTP to localhost:25 to deliver the mail to the local
spool, and not the communication from your machine to the next SMTP
server.
[ Prior versions of sendmail were setuid-root, and "mail -v" output was
more useful; 8.12 is not installed setuid-root anymore... ]

It's unlikely to be a bad install. Try running:
echo "3,0 cswiger@mac.com" | sendmail -bt
...on the Linux machine, and see whether the last line relays through
your ISP's smarthost, or directly to smtp-mx.mac.com. Compare that to
what the FreeBSD machine is doing.
