So, given that I do not fail submitting the password for kokomo when
requested... what could be the problem? Have I to create a system user
for kokomo?
If I use pgadmin3 I see the kokomo user with it own encrypted password
and I can create the DB with kokomo as a owner. So what am I missing
in the command line?

Have a look at the docs for the various client authentication mechanisms, and particularly the pg_hba.conf file.....you need to add a line to it requiring a password for your new user and the host from which it is connecting.
