COMMENTS
Initial terms of sequences A046376-A046384.
Note that 48384 (k=12) is a 'Droll' number: see A019507.
There are 3 more known terms: a(15)=405504, a(16)=40955904, a(20)=677707776. Any other terms would have at least 18 decimal digits. Conjecture: The sequence is finite and has no other terms than those shown here. - Hugo Pfoertner, Aug 13 2019

EXAMPLE
a(7) = 82728 because it is the smallest palindrome with 7 palindromic and no other prime factors: 82728 = 2^3 * 3^3 * 383. If other prime factors are not excluded, A309565(7) = 29792 = 2^5 * 7^2 * 19 also has exactly 7 palindromic factors and the additional factor 19.
