ignore_root won't work.

The first user—the local admin—is UID 1000.  If you ever try to passwd
that user, it asks for the user's Kerberos password.  If you try to
`passwd -r files`, it ... asks for the user's Kerberos password, because
the -r option doesn't work.

The root user generally is locked without a password.

Honestly the right option is probably to patch pam_krb5 to allow
overriding in krb5.conf (possibly by an option, possibly by default).
