sendmail: how to use AUTH LOGIN when talking to a smart_host

How can I tell sendmail (on a Redhat 9 system) to authenticate itself
(using AUTH LOGIN) when connecting to the SMART_HOST (defined in
/etc/mail/sendmail.mf) ?

I don't want to tell sendmail to require authentication when it
accepts mail, but rather to authenticate itself when forwarding mail
to the SMART_HOST.

Where should I put the credentials (login/password) ?

Thanks in advance.

Although, it is primarily about configuring sendmail or postfix in SuSE as
SMTP AUTH client for SBC Yahoo smtp, this may give you some clues:
