Personally, I try to avoid sendmail like the plague ...
You need to edit your sendmail config and setup a "smarthost" that handles your outgoing mail. It's the "DS" setting in sendmail.cf, but I don't know if there are special config tools for your OS distro - it might use the M4-based configuration files to build a sendmail.cf.
It may also be necessary to setup the "DM" (masquerade as) setting to give your outbound mail a sensible domain as part of the sender-address.

You need to tell Sendmail what to do with the email. By default it looks up the MX record for the relevant domain, obviously with no DNS that won't work :)
So, what you need to do is configure a "Smart Host" and put that value in square brackets to tell Sendmail not to do any DNS lookups. Put the following in your sendmail.mc file (replacing the word "mailserver" with the name of the server in /etc/hosts), rebuild sendmail.cf and then restart sendmail:
define(SMART_HOST', [mailserver]')
Note that you'll want to copy and paste - the quotes used are significant. The sendmail documentation details more:
