OpenSSH won't even try to use SSH_ASKPASS if it has access to a terminal. Tcl makes it work precisely because the Tcl interpreter is a GUI application that is detached from the console. You should set the SSH_ASKPASS variable, and try running the commands as you actually plan to do it from your code.
