Sorry for bothering you - after I hooked up twisted logging, I know what's going on:

[INFO] Starting factory <twisted.internet.protocol.ClientFactory instance at 0x015587D8>
[INFO] Enabling Multithreading.
[INFO] starting waker
[INFO] kex alg, key alg: diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha1 ssh-rsa

(last 4 lines repeated 7 times)

[ERROR] Got remote error, code 2
reason: Too many authentication failures for ppi
[INFO] connection lost
[INFO] Stopping factory <twisted.internet.protocol.ClientFactory instance at 0x015587D8>

I still have no idea why key auth doesn't work and how to enable password auth, but I will find out.
(That would be easier if conch.ssh had proper API docs, though.)
