tramp-completion-use-auth-sources suppresses auth-source based
completion only for completing user and host names in the minibuffer.

If you want to suppress the use of auth-source also for passwords, Tramp
2.5 describes the following in its manual:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   In case you do not want to use an authentication file for TRAMP
passwords, use connection-local variables (*note (emacs)Connection
Variables::) like this:

     (connection-local-set-profile-variables
      'remote-without-auth-sources '((auth-sources . nil)))

     (connection-local-set-profiles
      '(:application tramp) 'remote-without-auth-sources)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.
