So far as I know, no, there isn't a feat that'd help you out. The second level Paladin spell Effortless Armor, however, does this - for 1 minute/level.

Boots of Striding and Springing are 5,500 and grant 10 to your movement speed. Or Boots of Haste since those'll give ya 30, but those are kinda high level.
Second Effortless Armor. It'll reduce your check penalty by a few, too! It saved my inquisitor's butt on some critical acrobatics checks once.
A dwarf can move at full speed in heavy armor.
Multiclassing three levels in fighter gives Armor Training 1, allowing you to move at full speed in medium armor. Acquiring a sash of the war champion (Ultimate Magic; 4,000 gp) improves that to Armor Training 2 ("The wearer treats his fighter level as 4 higher than normal for the purpose of the armor training and bravery class features."), allowing full movement in heavy armor. Alternately, mithral heavy armor costs 9,000 gp extra and counts as medium armor for everything except proficiency (same end result to move speed, but you can use a different chest slot item).

Three levels of fighter and mithral fullplate? >.>
Are there any items or feats that would grant a paladin the ability to move at normal speed when using a full-plate armor?
Depending on how your GM rules, Sash of the War Champion and Mithril Full Plate may do the trick for you.
The plate is treated as medium armor and the sash, if it gives you Armor Training 1, lets you move in medium armor at full speed.
And your proficient in heavy armor so can wear mithril full plate.
Make this out of mithral?
The description on Celestial Plate specifically says it's made of silver. (Celestial Armor says silver or gold). I don't think it's intended to allow modification by the effects of other special materials (or even that other materials work in their creation at all).
Variant multiclassing a fighter nets you armor training 1 at 7th level. By then you have mithral fullplate.
There's a feat, Fleet, that adds +5 feet to your movement speed. If you're a small-sized Paladin that essentially does the same thing.
Fleet only works with light (or no) armor and a light load.
Won't work with full plate.
The best answer is to be a dwarf, really. Then any boosts to your speed are enjoyed in full.
Not really, Dwarves don't go any slower in heavy armor... but their base move is already 20. So Haste still only gets you to 40.
I just realized recently with my Dwarf that those boots of Striding and springing actually give you an anhancement bonus, meaning that he 'normally' now has 30' like the rest of the party... but when he gets hasted he'll still only get up to 40, equal to double his 'normal speed' as another enhancement bonus...
That one stung a bit.
We need a paladin archetype that gives armor training. I Haven't found on yet... I feel like it should be a thing.
Variant Multiclass fighter, take armor training from that, add in Improved Bravery or Armed Bravery later on and have the best Will saves in the game on top of the ability to have the best AC.
Untouchable.

Mithral Fullplate and/or Boots Of Striding and Springing, if you don’t want to be worrying about class features or feats to try and increase it that way.
A combat trained horse comes for 300g. The pony version is much cheaper, for some reason: 45g. Yes, riding into battle is not always an option, but often enough to make these few coins worthwhile. Since monsters become increasingly deadly for such an animal over the course of levels, it's just an intermediate solution until you make it to armor training I from VMC or the Hellknight prestige class.
