Below is the output of /var/log/maillog. I'm trying to send an email
from the "irc" account on the server, to "staff@xxxxxxxxxx". I think
maybe sendmail is getting confused because the hostname of the FreeBSD
box is also "domain.tld", the same host I'm trying to send outgoing
mail to.

Yes, that is the problem. In order for you to send mail out to
domain.tld, sendmail must not think that it is configured to handle
domain.tld locally. I would recommend changing your hostname to
something like server1.domain.tld and making sure you don't have the
domain 'domain.tld' listed alone in your sendmail config files.
