If DAEMON_OPTIONS is not used, then the default is
 
        DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp, Name=MTA')
        DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=587, Name=MSA, M=E')

The above was cut/pasted from /usr/share/sendmail-cf/README.

Where was the above submitted from? Locally or from a remote client? If from
a remote client, have you configured sendmail to allow hosts on your private
network to relay e-mail through this system? See /etc/mail/access 

Another problem is the relay=[]. Did you delete the content of this field?
Sendmail should have figured out what MX to use before the call to the check
recipient ruleset.
