Probably you should adjust "passwd chat" parameter for smbldap-passwd.

Perhaps the settings below will work:

-----
  passwd chat = "*New password*" %n\n "*Retype new password*" %n\n
-----

If this do not work, please debug to set:

-----
  passwd chat debug = yes
  log level = 100
-----

And view your log.
