#man 5 ssh_config
PreferredAuthentications
Specifies the order in which the client should try protocol 2
authentication methods. This allows a client to prefer one method
(e.g. keyboard-interactive) over another method (e.g. password)
The default for this option is: “gssapi-with-mic,hostbased,publickey,
keyboard-interactive,password”.
It not being in your /etc/ssh/ssh_config means you're not overriding the
default, that's all.
