I think If you has old-access style file and you are Cwene.es and ... aghhh! ... other.host.ene.es exist on your DNS you are relayed because you are local.
Finally, there are many options now for access file which authentication plays. SEE also "In 8.12 the MSP doesn't work well for SMTP AUTH when used with sendmail -bs because it usually doesn't have access to the authentication database. Possible solutions are: don't use sendmail -bs but talk directly to the MTA, or if you really need this feature, make sasldb group readable for smmsp (if you use it) and set the appropriate DontBlameSendmail option GroupReadableSASLDBFile." and http://www.sendmail.org/~ca/email/sm-812.html notes.
