Read the page you've quoted: "Installation Cyrus SASL"
There is no mention of Dovecot SASL.

You need to re-design your virtual user setup, e.g. use LDAP in combination with PAM.
Or, perhaps, patch in SQL support: http://blue-labs.org/software/sm-pgsql/ There is/was http://sourceforge.net/projects/sendmail-sql/.
Or, perhaps, make a Dovecot-SASL-patch for sendmail.
I'm using real users, so I don't know the functionality of those patches. If you search the Internet for sendmail+dovecot+sasl you'll see either no replies or "use postfix". There is a SASL-Patch for postfix.
