After reading a bit in the source code I remembered that django apps don't use any magic and after that found the (easy) solution. Just extend your own class from the auth form PasswordChangeForm, use for example the "clean" method in your new form and write your own view for it. The password_change view from auth doesn't do any special things. Normal form processing. Don't forget to save (this method comes from the PasswordChangeForm - you don't have to supply it yourself) and redirect in the success case to a success site.
I recommend to anyone having problems with this reading the source files.
