This smb.conf snippet looks telling:

You said you "exported all information [...] to an smbpasswd format", but
your comments suggest that you are actually expecting samba to read its
passdb from passdb.tdb.  The above snippet clearly shows that Samba is
configured to look *only* at /etc/samba/smbpasswd, and not at
/etc/samba/passdb.tdb.  Could this be the source of the trouble?  Can you
confirm that *this* section of your smb.conf was the same before and
after the upgrade to -4 -- in which case, I would suggest that an
ill-fated config change took effect when smbd restarted at the time of
the upgrade?
