Not an expert on OSX.
I wonder whether the UI prompt supports password change workflow. May be
it does but needs to be explicitly enabled?
There should be some logs on the OSX that would indicate what is going
on when the server responds with the password change prompt.
I would suggest starting troubleshooting efforts there.
