I do need to clarify, the ntlm_auth binary, which is scriptable
interface to winbindd for password checking, of raw passwords and for
NTLMSSP and Kerberos authentication protocols, as well as a client for
the same, is not going away any time soon.  

Frankly neither is NTLM in any sense, given Microsoft is only just
starting to implement a better alternative.

The "ntlm auth" option and the ntlm_auth binary are not really
connected.
