That's your error, and I think it's pretty clear.

The authpam module needs two things:
1. a source of information to get the HOMEDIR, UID and GID from; it does
   this using the getpwnam() function, which typically looks in the Unix
   password file, although it may be configured differently (e.g. using
   nsswitch.conf). See preauthpam.c
2. PAM to validate the password

If the username does not exist in (1), then it doesn't bother trying to
validate the password in (2). It would be a pointless exercise.
