Now it's working fine!

I finally succeeded. I worked around by increasing only the value of the
line_length_limit option to 12288 ( same value as the default for
smtpd_sasl_response_limit  )
And create a specific keytab file containing the SPN (
/etc/postfix/smtp.keytab )

But I haven't thought about why the Kerberos ticket size is too big. Maybe
I should ask the question about the samba list?

In any case thank you all!
