Ok, I'm currently using 2.5.5 (debian stable). Does this mean that it's
always using SSH when connecting to a rsync server?

That was not my impression reading through the documentation.

--cut--
for copying from a remote machine using a remote shell program as the
transport, using rsync server on the remote machine. This is invoked
when the source path contains a :: separator and the --rsh=COMMAND (aka
"-e COMMAND") option is also provided.
--cut--

And when using ssh with

rsync -auz --delete --rsh=”ssh -l ssh_username" 
rsync_username at 1.2.3.4::www /var/www

I would exspect a prompt for password right?

Maybe there's something wrong with the way I'm starting the rsync server 
(I'm using daemon tools):

run script:

#!/bin/sh
exec 2>&1
exec softlimit -d 100000000 tcpserver \
    -x /etc/tcprules/tcp.rsyncd.cdb -v -c 20 -U -H -l 0 -R \
    1.2.3.4 873 nice -2 /usr/bin/rsync --daemon --no-detach \
    --config=/etc/rsyncd.conf
