I think you'd need to modify the PAM stack to keep going even if
authentication against pam_unix fails. I /think/ (but haven't tested )
that modifying the lines that deal with pam_unix/pam_sss like this:

    auth     [default=2 success=ok] pam_localuser.so
    auth     sufficient pam_unix.so nullok try_first_pass
    auth     [success=done ignore=ignore default=die] pam_sss.so use_first_pass

could work. The other lines in the PAM auth stack and all the other
stacks should be left intact.

(Please keep a root shell around if you're going to tinker with PAM
settings and preferably try this out on a test box first.)
