it seems that you aren't boiling the macaroni long enough and that is why they are "clumping" up. Is the macaroni sticky when you drain them? If so boil them a little longer and rinse with cold water like Aunty Lynn suggest.
Ooops... forget everything I said! You have to cool the mac and potatoes before mixing. I just remembered (slaps forehead). My Mom mixes the hot potatoes into everything because she likes it clumpy. That's the way I prefer it too. The hot potatoes soak up the liquid. Sorry about that!
I use Mexican Macaroni not Elbow, drain and cool add next to last to the mix...the mayo comes last. After mixing let it all chill in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.
At least to myself and those I serve it to doesn't come out dry.
