No, your sendmail.mc changes were correct, following the tutorial on the
website I gave you the URL of. At least if you didn't just append the
settings at the bottom but made the changes inline, where you found
commented entries.

That is exactly what is to be expected: STARTTLS is offered, but no AUTH
- just because you told Sendmail to only offer LOGIN and PLAIN AUTH
mechs when the connection is safe (=encrypted).

Good up to this point. The STARTTLS session was successfully established
and Sendmail greats you.

Now with the encrypted connection Sendmail allows you to AUTH using
either LOGIN or PLAIN.

I would be it is a client problem. To evaluate simply go on with testing
where you stopped.

When you made the hand established TLS connection and then entered "EHLO
foo.bar", go on and AUTH yourself. To do this you need to base64 encode
your username and password. You can do this with a Perl 1-liner:
perl -MMIME::Base64 -e 'print encode_base64("user\0user\0password");'
That will print out a string which you have to enter following way
(after initial EHLO):
AUTH PLAIN dXNlcgB1c2VyAHBhc3N3b3Jk
That must be answered by Sendmail with a authentication success message.
If you hand auth using LOGIN, you enter "AUTH LOGIN", will get back a
base64 string which decodes as the question which user shall auth, you
enter the base64 encoded username, then Sendmail will ask in base64 form
for your password, which you have to enter too in base64 encoding.
Finally a success message must follow.
I am sure these test will be successful as the initial test trying to
establish a STARTTLS session already was successful. So your problem is
client based. Check for firewalling and anti-virus scanners (outbound
mail scanning), as I told you before. The issue (especially Norton's
thing) is well known and an ongoing pain. You will find many hits and
references to this through google. I.e.
http://www.cs.wisc.edu/csl/old-doc/info/smtp-auth/
If you face other cryptic OE error codes, use google too or directly go
