One thing to consider, the MailScanner.rpmnew was created because there was
already one startup file, perhaps the installation created other .rpmnew files
for other configuration or startup files and all of them have to be activated
for this thing to work... I'm thinking that saslauthd has some pending changes,
perhaps sendmail's configuration also.

I don't quite understand what you mean... what does deliver have to do with
authentification? (i.e. you can change how the delivery is done but that will
not change your inability to send mail if saslauthd is not validating your
password).
