In all cases on both system pam_unix comes before pam_sss.  For example in Fedora system-auth it is:

auth        [success=done ignore=ignore default=die] pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
auth        requisite     pam_succeed_if.so uid >= 1000 quiet_success
auth        sufficient    pam_sss.so forward_pass

and in Ubuntu common-auth it is:

auth [success=2 default=ignore] pam_unix.so nullok_secure
auth [success=1 default=ignore] pam_sss.so use_first_pass

I tried reversing the lines and get a pam error about user not know (it is an AD user which works fine on fedora).

Also, it looks like pam_pkcs11.so is used in smartcard-auth on Fedora.  Don't know if this is relevant or not.

How does your PAM configuration looks like? You have to make sure that
pam_sss.so is the first module called for SSSD users. If pam_unix comes
first it will ask for a Password and pass it on to pam_sss.so which will
try password authentication in this case.
