Oooh ... that's the missing ingredient.  Do you have a GSS credentials
cache on the client side, but no support on the server side?

It looks like, if there is a credentials cache and gssencmode isn't
explicitly disabled, we try GSS first.  If the server refuses that:

                    if (gss_ok == 'N')
                    {
                        /* Server doesn't want GSSAPI; fall back if we can */
                        if (conn->gssencmode[0] == 'r')
                        {
                            appendPQExpBufferStr(&conn->errorMessage,
                                                 libpq_gettext("server doesn't support GSSAPI encryption, but it was required\n"));
                            goto error_return;
                        }

                        conn->try_gss = false;
                        conn->status = CONNECTION_MADE;
                        return PGRES_POLLING_WRITING;
                    }

that is, it decides the connection it has is good enough.  This
is not OK if SSL should have been used.
