I did set a debug level of 4 and what I saw was a NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER (or
something alike) but no more specific details. The machine account (posix)
gets created automatically but the samba attributes are not added by samba.

I think you are wrong, because the "add machine script" DOES get executed
when adding a machine to a domain.

I have read the documentation you point out and many other tutorials and
howtos but I find myself in the same situation I was some days ago. I have
even tried to install everything in three different linux distros and in one
of them I have reinstalled everything from scratch three or four times. This
is why I am trying alternate methods.

So, samba is not doing its job and it may be because I am missing something
but I still do not know what it is. Anyway, I can post the samba log if you
think it is helpful to find out the source of the error.

Thanks for the advice,

Mikel
