I use Sendmail with Systemd on Centos-7 without difficulty. I realize
that Centos-7 is somewhat far frmo Fedora, but at least they are
cousins, so there ought to be at least a little value in knowing
it can be done.
My first suggestion is to run postfix instead. :-)
Assuming that is not acceptable, what does "systemctl status
sendmail" show? Open a couple of terminal windows, run "tail
-f/var/log/audit/audit.log" in one and "journalctl -f --all" in the
other. Then try "systemctl restart sendmail" and see what output
you get from that and what shows up in those other terminal windows.
