Yes.  That is the "for-purpose" mechanism that I alluded to earlier
which is why I posited that if smtpd was clearing the environment it
was doing so in violation of the specific mechanism that was supposed
to make this all work.

In my case, I am using the "name=value" variant so that KRB5_KTNAME is
supposed to be getting an explict value even, rather than relying on
the environment already having the variable set.

Indeed.  I used as my example:

# KRB5_KTNAME=/etc/postfix/smtp.keytab klist -k
Keytab name: FILE:/etc/postfix/smtp.keytab
KVNO Principal
