You can't use pam_afs as a session module if you're using public key
authentication because pam_afs doesn't know what to do without a
password. You need to change your PAM configuration so that pam_afs is
not used in this case or so that its return status is ignored.

pam_afs is failing because it doesn't have a password, and apparently it's
a required module in your PAM stack and therefore is aborting the login.
