The host in question is running
14.0-RELEASE-p5 FreeBSD 14.0-RELEASE-p5 #0: Tue Feb 13 23:49:05 UTC 2024 
root@arm64-builder.daemonology.net:/usr/obj/usr/src/arm64.aarch64/sys/GENERIC arm64

Sendmail was configured using 
cp /usr/share/examples/sendmail/mailer.conf /etc/mail/mailer.conf
so no local customizations. Might it be sufficent to run 
pkg install cyrus-sasl 
and accept the defaults?

Thanks for writing!
