why no SASL in sendmail?

I need to support mail for mobile users. Consensus appears to be that
this is best done w/ a combination of SASL (authentication) & STARTTLS
(encryption). However, sendmail isn't compiled with SASL support:

# sendmail -d0.1 -bv
Version 8.13.4
 Compiled with: DNSMAP LOG MAP_REGEX MATCHGECOS MILTER MIME7TO8 MIME8TO7
                NAMED_BIND NETINET NETINET6 NETUNIX NEWDB NIS PIPELINING
                SCANF STARTTLS TCPWRAPPERS USERDB XDEBUG

Perhaps I'm reading too much into this, but is this because there are
issues with SASL? Or is there a "better way" to provide smtp services
for mobile users?

Thnx,
J
