PKINIT is one of many methods of pre-authentication. Does the KDC response to the client with "Additional pre-authentication required" include PKINIT as an allowed pre-auth method? (You'll probably need a packet trace to determine this.) If not, there is something wrong with your KDC setup and it cannot process PKINIT. If PKINIT pre-auth is not available, then the next default is Timestamp which will prompt for your password.
You should start with the KDC side and make sure it is correctly configured and offering PKINIT as an acceptable pre-auth. This may require re-building the PKINIT plugin with -DDEBUG defined to get more information. K.C.
