STARTTLS not being offered

STARTTLS is not being offered by sendmail when I telnet to the local port on the localhost. STARTTLS is compiled into sendmail. I have valid certificates, pointed to in the .mc file, built to a .cf file. There is a listener running on port 587 and in the log I see entries that seem to indicate it is running:

STARTTLS=server, Diffie-Hellman init, key=1024 bit (1)
STARTTLS=server, init=1

But when I issue EHLO, no STARTTLS. I have set debugging to Level 14, then to 100 because, well, why not? Yet there are no clues. I don't need auth, so I am not using those options in the config, nor am I running saslauthd. Regardless, it should be offered if I have certificates, they are in the correct path expected in the config file, etc.

Any advice?

SENDMAILCONFIG(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 SENDMAILCONFIG(8)

NAME

       sendmailconfig - configure sendmail for Debian systems

SYNOPSIS

       sendmailconfig [--no-reload]

DESCRIPTION

       sendmailconfig is used to simplify the configuration of sendmail(8) for use on Debian systems.

       In  the	simplest  case,  you  may  run	this program to (re)configure sendmail for your Debian system at any time. It will modify the file
       /etc/mail/sendmail.mc in order to create a working sendmail configuration which will be written to the file /etc/mail/sendmail.cf.

       For advanced configurations, you can modify the sendmail.mc file before generating sendmail.cf. Future invokations of  sendmailconfig  will
       preserve these changes provided they are made at the end of the file.

       Normally  sendmailconfig  will  ask  if	you want to reload sendmail after making changes to its configuration. The --no-reload option will
       avoid this question.

FILES

       /etc/mail/sendmail.mc
	      sendmail m4 input to generate sendmail.cf

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cf
	      actual sendmail configuration file

       /etc/mail/sendmail.cw
	      names for which we will accept mail in the standard configuration

       /etc/mail/sendmail.ct
	      names of trusted users in the standard configuration
