How are you connecting? Your symptoms matches confusing local with
TCP/IP to localhost. They are not the same thing.
Also, are you on windows? ( which does not have unix sockets ).

local
This record matches connection attempts using Unix-domain sockets.
Without a record of this type, Unix-domain socket connections are
disallowed.
host
This record matches connection attempts made using TCP/IP. host
records match SSL or non-SSL connection attempts as well as GSSAPI
encrypted or non-GSSAPI encrypted connection attempts.

On a unix host psql -h localhost will use the host line, psql -h
/socket/path will go to the local one, and no -h defaults to socket.
On a windows host it default to tcp/ip to localhost.
