This is not possible.

Linux never stores the plain text passwords; Windows (or any Samba
client) never transmits plain text passwords. Thus, there's no data
that can be compared anyhow: Linux only has crypt/MD5 hashes of the
password, Windows only transmits MD4 data.

libpam-smb does the reverse thing of what you want: It authenticates a
user (loggin in on your Unix/Linux host) against a given SMB server
(e.g. a Windows server).
