Judging from the password prompt that you're getting, you do not have
ChallengeResponseAuthentication enabled on your ssh server, which means
that it cannot do a full PAM dialogue.  The simple PasswordAuthentication
ssh protocol can only handle a password prompt and response, not any
additional conversation such as an expired password change.

Check your sshd_config; I suspect that if you enable ChallengeResponse, it
will start working.
