It does. That's its entire point. (Read the RFC.)

That (and what you described after) isn't 'submission'. Port 587 is all about
authenticated SMTP-like email submission.
Talking to sendmail on 127.0.0.1 or ::1 isn't the same thing.
Long ago I taught sendmail to listen on named sockets. I had a crazy idea that
/var/run/submission might become the default submission interface for local
email. Sadly, it never caught on.
