I do not see any necessities for submitting your site map to every search engines, I think you should focus only on a few like Google or Bing. For Google, go to Google Search console, create an account and add your property. For Bing go to Bing Webmaster Tools, create account and submit your XML site url to the sitemap section.

Site map are submitted for improving search engine indexing. Sitemaps will help search engine algorithm to learn about your website. But whether you have submitted your site map or not, your website will be still indexed in search engines (unless you have disabled this option).
