This morning I managed to successfully authenticate a login with SMTP AUTH
using STARTTLS and SASL.

It turned out that while the Aurora 2.0 build puts a Sendmail.conf file
in /usr/lib64/sasl2, SASL and sendmail expected it to be in /usr/lib/sasl2

This didn't become apparent until this morning, when I noticed at the
bottom of my logwatch report's sendmail section 7 instances of "file not
found: /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf".

I moved /usr/lib64/sasl2/Sendmail.conf to /usr/lib/sasl2/Sendmail.conf
and finally got what I'd been wanting to see:
