Frankly, I have a great deal of difficulty with the statement that

Don't know what is different in "your" sendmail, but sendmail can
have a separate MSA running on port 587 for some time now.
in your .mc file or
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587,Name=MSA,M=E
As I just said to J.A. Coutts, "And do not forget the 'a', to force
authentication." (after the E flag). The submission port should only accept
authenticated relays.
Apparently it can listen on other ports.
And I bet every MTA worth a dime can listen on other ports. But, per
default, most of them probably just listen on port 25.
