No. Guacamole needs to be able to send the password to the RDP server, thus
needs the password unhashed. If what you describe were possible, that'd be
a pretty big vulnerability in Windows. ;)

If you want to avoid storing the password, as long as you ensure that the
password is the same for the RDP user and the Guacamole user (LDAP auth may
be a good way to achieve this), then you can pass the password through
using parameter tokens:
