I am pretty sure its configure option
  --with-logging          log via syslog, file, or both
  --with-logfac           syslog facility to log with (default is "local2")

OK, that confirms syslog.conf is correctly configured.

I'm afraid I'm not much help here, any longer, and so I'm cc'ing the
list.
Perhaps the options you used when you ran configure didn't compile in
syslog
support when you built sudo?   Perhaps you need to explicitly enable
syslog
support in /etc/sudoers?
