The --password-file option is used for connecting with an rsync daemon,
so it has no effect on the password prompt coming from your remote-
shell.  You'll need to consult the relevant docs for your remote-shell
to see what options it has for authorizing a connection.  E.g. ssh users
can setup authorized keys as described in ssh-keygen (and perhaps use
ssh-agent and possibly keychain), but other methods are also possible.
