yes via postfix.
Which is to say: no. Sendmail MTA has not implemented Dovecot SASL. Postfix's sendmail(1) binary receives mail via stdin, and does not authenticate.

Hi,
I do have a system that uses sendmail and SMTP authentication, which is done through the saslauthd daemon (comes as cyrus-sasl-* RPMs in RedHat/CentOS). The sasl daemon uses a tcpip imap connection to another machine which runs dovecot 2.1.5 (was working previously with 1.2). The options to set in sendmail.mc (you might want different mechanisms):
define(confAUTH_OPTIONS', A p')
TRUST_AUTH_MECH(LOGIN PLAIN') define(confAUTH_MECHANISMS', `LOGIN PLAIN')
and then configure saslauthd to connect to your imap server.
