Authentication problem

I am trying to get authentication to work on my server with sendmail. I have tried numerous combonations of pwcheck_method:'s in the .conf file and different mech's when starting the saslauthd. I am using SASL v2.1.10 and Sendmail v8.13.5.

The lines from the log file for a sending transaction look like this without IP and auth strings:

I am using Thunderbird for the mailer, any help would be greatly appreciated. If any other information is needed please let me know and I will get it to you ASAP.
