According to sshd_config(5):

     PAMAuthenticationViaKbdInt
             Specifies whether PAM challenge response authentication is
             allowed. This allows the use of most PAM challenge response
             authentication modules, but it will allow password authenticat=
ion
             regardless of whether PasswordAuthentication is enabled.

It seems, however, that it's the ChallengeResponseAuthentication setting th=
at
controls whether PAM authentication is enabled, and apparently its being se=
t to
"yes" causes the behavior you're seeing.
