sendmail TCP lmtp - local auth needed?

I setup sendmail 8.12.10 to use TCP for lmtp rather than UNIX sockets.

define(`confLOCAL_MAILER', `cyrusv2')dnl
define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_FLAGS', `A5 at w/:|m')dnl
define(`CYRUSV2_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP localhost lmtp')dnl


this works, but I now end up with this:

Sep 21 11:55:38 myhost sendmail[14567]: to=<username at myhost.mydomain.com>, 
ctladdr=<username at myhost.mydomain.com> (100
/10), delay=00:00:01, xdelay=00:00:00, mailer=cyrusv2, pri=30591, 
relay=localhost.mydomain.com. [127.0.0.1], dsn=4.0.0, stat=Deferred: 4
30 Authentication required

I know if I run 'lmtpd -a' it will deliver, but that could open up some 
trouble. I have searched the archives at sendmail and cyrus and dont see a 
solution to this. I have been told to tell sendmail to use SASL to 
authenticate when it connects - but I am looking for an example of how to 
do this...I do have SASL installed and it does work fine....

I hope someone can at least point me towards some answer?
