The GSSAPI handshake is too complex for hand-tests with telnet. Use a
real GSSAPI client, e.g. a suitably configured Postfix client.

Viktor,
Hi
Thanks for your guidance. Would please keep an eye on this thread? I am
going to test the configuration using a properly configured GSSAPI client.
Possibly, there will be much more questions to ask ;)
Thank you so much.

Kind Regards

Viktor,
Hello
Thanks a lot for your help. I managed to solve the problem. By the way, have
you got any experiences about using kerberos as a pam module?

Kind Regards
Ali Majdzadeh Kohbanani

Processes running as root can use kerberos as a PAM module, by obtaining
and validating a service ticket for the host/<hostname>@REALM service
in the system keytab.

So if you want to have Postfix offer "PLAIN", utilizing a KDC as a password
"oracle", you need a "root" co-process to validate passwords, which is what
"saslauthd -a pam" is for.
