For me the issue was the same when I used SFTP with password auth.
Adding IdentitiesOnly yes for these hosts before the Host * is what worked for me.
So e.g:

Host *.netcup.net
IdentitiesOnly yes
Host ssh.strato.de
IdentitiesOnly yes
Host *.your-server.de
IdentitiesOnly yes
Host *.1and1-data.host
IdentitiesOnly yes

Host *
IdentityAgent "~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock"
