So your ISP's smart host must either accept your mail based on the IP
you got or authentication data (SMTP AUTH). What does it require or what
is the policy? If you don't know you will have to ask the support.

Don't test as root! This is because of the general rule not to act as
root when you don't have to and especially in this case because root is
a special user for Sendmail. It is an exposed user and thus excepted
from masquerading.
