It doesn't require SMTP AUTH, it relays only via IP address for sending
mail.

With SMART_HOST my sendmail sends it's load to my ISP server, but mails
never go to their destination, so I'm trying to do my sendmail to AUTH
as client for the ISP server and see if mails go.

Why dont you configure sendmail to resolve the domain and send the
mails directly to the destination.
There are two ways to send mail...either via your isp or directly. If
your isp is not allowing u to send mails using your server then you
can send via an isp.
However I think you need to really ask your isp what they have
available for you to use.



I have to check if mails from user@xxxxxxxxxx (mail.domain.com; this is
my mail server) are accepted by the ISP mail server (smtp.ispdomain.net)

These links are useful, I'm running sendmail-8.13
