Don't know what is different in "your" sendmail, but sendmail can have a

RELEASE_NOTES for 8.10.0 (2000/03/01) "sendmail implements RFC 2476
(Message Submission), e.g., it can now listen on several different
ports.". Try something like:
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587,Name=MSA,M=E')dnl
in your .mc file or
O DaemonPortOptions=Port=587,Name=MSA,M=E
directly in your sendmail.cf file.
my Xmail doesn't support it,
Apparently it can listen on other ports. Command line paramenter:
-Sp port Set SMTP server port
and now you say Imail doesn't support it.

While practicly any SMTP servers support running mail server on different
port, you should not run that SMTP server with same setting as your main
server and should change it so that its authentication settings do in fact
match those requires for submision service. And the difference is that
for submission service the mail server MUST require authentication - that
means it must either see client use AUTH or client itself should be in
list of ips that are known to be on local network.
