What is the version of microtype? I assume you are using that
package. Look in your .log file for messages about font
expansion. Also check the .log (and the screen messages)
for other messages about the font and/or from the microtype
package.
I assume you *are* using pdflatex instead of latex and the
calls to mktexpk are being made by pdftex and not dvips?.

Actually I'm not sure how to determine the version of an installed
package,

When it is loaded, it usually announces itself on the
screen or in the .log file. Mine says (in the .log file):
Package: microtype 2007/12/23 v2.3 Micro-typography with pdfTeX (RS)

Or you can look in microtype.sty for a \ProvidesPackage command.
Your pdftex is just new enough to have the autoexpand
feature, but your microtype might be old enough not to have
added support for it yet:
> README says: v1.6a 2005/02/02

Yes, I assume I'm using pdflatex, at least the output generated is pdf.

Output means nothing. The fact that you don't know probably
means you are not running anything, but rather clicking buttons
and hoping your shell program does the right thing. Try to find
out what program(s) is(are) actually called and make sure it is
pdflatex, and not one of the sequences
latex + dvips + ps2pdf
or
latex + dvipdfm
or any latex + <other path to pdf>
One usually checks this by descending through configuration
menus until a dialogue is reached permits you to read (and edit)
the configuration. Only reading the instructions for whatever
shell program you use can tell you exactly how to do that.

I have the following packages loaded ( besides others ):
\usepackage[osf]{mathpazo}
\usepackage[scaled=.95]{helvet}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage[tracking=true]{microtype}

Apart from the age of pdftex and of microtype, I don't see anything
wrong with it. An updating of both could be useful, but might not
be necessary

Yes, indeed I'm clicking buttons, using xemacs with auctex and pdf mode
enabled in the auctex options. Or I use a makefile which calls pdflatex
explicitely. And last not least my logfiles start with

This is pdfeTeXk, Version 3.141592-1.21a-2.2 (Web2C 7.5.4) (format=latex
2006.11.25) 20 FEB 2008 00:03

This would give me some confidence that I am running the right program


That only verifies that the pdftex executable is used. Modern
systems use the same executable for all of
pdftex, pdflatex, pdfetex, tex, etex, and latex.
merely changing its mode of operation based on the name used
to call it. The "format=latex" only rules out 4 of those. You should
look
at the *last* line, where it says
"Output written on ausarbeitung.pdf (31 pages, 1278266 bytes)."
which verifies that pdf is produced directly (rather that
ausarbeitung.dvi) and so pdflatex was used.
