Is there a way to fallback to password authentication and ignore the ssh-agent?

Yes, you can use the PreferredAuthentications field in the SSH config. For example:

Host some-host-to-authenticate-with-server-password
   PreferredAuthentications password

Host some-host-with-server-password-fallback
  PreferredAuthentications publickey,password

phatmandrake

Interesting, that has no affect for me.
