The sample script does not adjust the config but only sets the passwords
for generating the keys, so this is the intended behaviour.

no

Option 1: Set the secret method from "literal" to "plain" and remove the
value. Restart the daemon and go to "PKI Operation > Manage Secret",
enter the value of the key password for the approriate secret group. The
value will be held in the daemon until you restart it.

Option 2: You can use the "Connector" Features to hold the password in
an extra file outside the configuration or use some kind of password
daemon, e.g "KeyNanny". You can find a brief example in the "Connector"
slides from the workshop: http://www.openxpki.org/2018/05/workshop-slides

You need to create individuel secret groups for each token type and
reference them with the "secret:" keyword, e.g.

  ca-one-signer:
    inherit: default
    secret: issuer-secret

  secret:
    issuer-secret:
       ....
