You should be cold when you start out - cause you will warm up. So, don't wear the jacket at first, just a jersey and armwarmers for instance, ride the hard part where you get sweaty and then put your jacket on for the downhill. Sounds like it is just not cold enough for the jacket right now for the entire ride.

Some of us just sweat. I sweat when I eat. I sweat when I walk. I sweat when I ride. My metabolism runs fast and I sweat.
Although it's not as cold here in winter, it can get into the 30s and 40s, and I have a similar problem. When it's cold and on rides with extended climbs, I'm just soaking, even if I strip off most of my layers. Then, I freeze my butt off on the extended descent. My secret has been to pack a dry base layer in my jersey pocket (in a plastic bag) so I can put a dry layer next to my skin for the descent.
