Getting the certificate:
apt install certbot certbot certonly --webroot #domain name: pomo.komputilo.org #webroot for pomo: directoy apache serves for http://pomo.komputilo.org
To install the certificate in sendmail, insert into /etc/mail/sendmail.mc (partially copied from sendmail.org, and letsencrypt.org):
define(`confCACERT_PATH', `/etc/letsencrypt/live/pomo.komputilo.org')dnl define(`confCACERT', `/etc/letsencrypt/live/pomo.komputilo.org/chain.pem')dnl define(`confSERVER_CERT', `/etc/letsencrypt/live/pomo.komputilo.org/cert.pem')dnl define(`confSERVER_KEY', `/etc/letsencrypt/live/pomo.komputilo.org/privkey.pem')dnl define(`confCLIENT_CERT', `/etc/letsencrypt/live/pomo.komputilo.org/cert.pem')dnl define(`confCLIENT_KEY', `/etc/letsencrypt/live/pomo.komputilo.org/privkey.pem')dnl define(`confAUTH_OPTIONS', `A p y')dnl
After changing the sendmail.mc file, run
cd /etc/mail make /etc/init.d/sendmail reload
Note that this fails: sendmail doesn't like the /etc/letsencrypt/archive/pomo.komputilo.org/privkey1.pem file being group&world readable.
chmod 0600 /etc/letsencrypt/live/pomo.komputilo.org/privkey.pem
To test:
telnet localhost 25 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. 220 pomo.komputilo.org ESMTP Sendmail 8.15.2/8.15.2/Debian-8; Sat, 18 Apr 2020 10:31:08 +0200; (No UCE/UBE) logging access from: localhost(OK)-localhost [127.0.0.1]
Issue the ehlo localhost command, and check the response for '250-STARTTLS':

To obtain the certificate (see here):
openssl s_client -connect pomo.komputilo.org:465 -tls1_2

dhparams file
The dhparam.pem can be generated with:
openssl dhparam -out /etc/mail/certs/dhparam4096.pem 4096
And in sendmail:
define(`confDH_PARAMETERS', `/etc/mail/certs/dhparam4096.pem')dnl # <= EDIT
