Outlook express does not support CRAM-MD5 or DIGEST-MD5 anyways!

Hmm... Are you sure? I am using STARTTLS + SMTP AUTH without client side
certificates! AFAIK, during the TLS session, Sendmail will first ask for
client certificate, if a certificate is not received, AUTH will be used
instead. IIRC, Sendmail 8.12 onwards, this is a .cf option - you can
enable or disable client certificates.
