That's fishy.  What happens if you explicily define(`QUEUE_DIR', 
'/var/spool/mqueue')
(or wherever) in your sendmail.mc?

does your sendmail.cf have QUEUE_DIR set?

You don't have
DAEMON_OPTIONS(`Port=smtp,Addr=127.0.0.1, Name=MTA')
or
something similar in your sendmail.mc do you?

What does grepping for DaemonPortOptions in your sendmail.cf report?

Maybe sendmail got upgraded and your sendmail.mc got replaced or 
something? You don't have any
upgrade scripts running in cron do you?  IIRC, redhat's latest sendmail 
moves sendmail.cf to /etc/mail.
Could that be the cause of your problems?
