My own view here is that Sayaka
really was feeling suicidal when she refused the grief seed from Kyouko and Homura, and was somewhat hiding that behind a prideful facade. In other words, she wasn't refusing the grief seed because she was too proud to accept it, but because she really did want to die and saw the grief seed as a Puella Magi form of life support that would keep her alive longer than she wanted to.
I think that Homura threatens to kill Sayaka in order to confront precisely this suicidal drive. Homura is basically forcing Sayaka to ask herself "Do I
really want to die?"
Sayaka's rapidly worsening situation (and Hitomi's discussion with her about Kamijou in particular) basically drove her to a point where she wanted to die.
