Sounds like you already have a sendmail process running, so port 25 is
already in use.

On my 4.9 system, I ended up putting

sendmail_enable="YES"
sendmail_flags="-L sm-mta -bd -OPrivacyOptions=noetrn
-ODeliveryMode=queueonly -OQueueDirectory=/var/spool/mqueue.in"

in /etc/rc.conf, and then also ran

/usr/sbin/sendmail -q15m

(by hand, though I should put that in /usr/local/etc/rc.d or something).

Then restart sendmail (ie, cd /etc/mail; sudo make restart) and you
should see something like

109  ??  Is     0:00.09 sendmail: Queue runner at 00:30:00 for
/var/spool/client
   167  ??  Ss     0:29.89 sendmail: accepting connections (sendmail)
52737  ??  Is     0:00.01 sendmail: Queue runner at 00:15:00 for
/var/spool/mqueue

if you run a ps -ax | grep sendmail
