Thanks for pointing, there is a Line missing ...
It should state:

This is only for "mail-submission hosts", which handle all mail
to a mailhub.

To have a deamon running you need in /etc/rc.conf:
sendmail_flags="--L sm-mta -bd -q30m"

$ cp /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sendmail.sh.sample /usr/local/etc/rc.d/sendmail.sh

Yes, cause you start 2 sm-msp-queue only.

ls -l /etc/mail/*.mc

on older system there was a /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
now it is really /etc/mail/<hostname>.mc
