Now I did a small research: My ssh_config explicitly mentions PasswordAuthentication yes and no word about PubkeyAuthentication (which leaves the default 'yes') Inserting the line PubkeyAuthentication yes fixes the problem. Removing the line about PasswordAuthentication also works.
The code that checks the allowed authentication methods should use the same default values/resolution process as ssh itself to determine the allowed methods/sequence to use. Hope this helps.
