This is a local setting on each DC. Have you set it on all of your Samba 
DCs?

For Windows DCs this setting is managed using GPOs and each DC applies 
this setting. However, Samba is currently not able to process GPOs. For 
this reason this feature was implemented in samba-tool, but needs to be 
set on each DC.

Does setting a password works if it matches the rules:

For example, you should be able to set "Passw0rd" for a user if 
complexity is enabled.
