Do you contact your mail server inside your LAN or from outside through
your 'firewall'? You should configure Sendmail to produce a more verbose
maillog. Put in sendmail.mc the line
define(`confLOG_LEVEL', `15')dnl
and regenerate your sendmail.cf to restart Sendmail.
Do you run an anti-virus program like Norton on your Windows[tm] box? If
so disable outgoing mail checks because the Norton tool destroys the
STARTTLS process (long known bug, never fixed).
If you can not find the reason please reply with the corresponding
/var/log/maillog entries. For debugging you might also first try without
STARTTLS and normal authentification. It's always best to debug first
with the simplest setup.
