The Dovecot developer is a smart dude. :-)

Actually it might. Dovecot can do the sasl auth part. I have not touched
sendmail in at least 10 years, so I do not know anything about the current
default sendmail config but I know dovecot sasl auth is easier to config
for postfix (5 lines in the postfix main.cf IIRC).
I suppose it is possible that RH switched sendmail to user dovecot sasl
in their default config.
