Assuming you mean incoming authentication by users of your server and
not some form of remote authentication as in using another server as a
smart host or similar...

http://www.howtoforge.com/howto_sendmail_smtp_auth_tls

Note version numbers and such, this page is moderately ancient. Also,
much of the 'wget' stuff can/should be done using apt-get, synaptic,
etc. But it's a general guideline for setting up SASL with Cyrus.

FWIW if you feed Google 'sendmail cyrus Ubuntu howto' minus the quotes
you'll come up with a bunch of similar pages, some more relevant than
others, but most of them in the ball park. ;)
