Well, this is a sendmail, not a clamav issue. That said sendmail has the
ability to auth against many different mechimesims. You would need to look
at what mechimesims are available on the remote server and see if sendmail
supports it.

on a single server providing auth, not a bank of servers providing auth
for different users.

Once authorized, they can relay through this host. That is the point of
authorization.

Here is a link for using Cyrus SASL2 for sendmail auth.
