As per the samba docs:

http://us6.samba.org/samba/ftp/docs/htmldocs/smb.conf.5.html#OBEYPAMRESTRICTIONS

"Note that Samba always ignores PAM for authentication in the case of
encrypt passwords = yes  . The reason is that PAM modules cannot support
the challenge/response authentication mechanism needed in the presence
of SMB password encryption."
