You need to run 'kinit' on the client to get a Kerberos ticket, which
requires that you have a KDC somewhere.  The SMTP server you use must
typically also be part of the same Kerberos realm.

Sorry for confusing the problem by talking about hostkeys, that is only
required on the server side, and it seems you are on the client side.
