I'm not sure what type of authentication you're using but I ran into a
similar problem after my upgrade.  Fedora's version of sendmail uses
sasldb2 not sasldb (notice the "2" at the end).

sasldb2 is created in a different format than sasldb using the
saslpasswd2 utility.  You can list users using sasldblistusers2.  In
other words, your problem may be with sasl.
