When nil, this user option disables to use your .authinfo.pgp when
completing host names. So you shall keep it nil.

Disabling .authinfo.gpg for Tramp is not foreseen. The most simple
workaround is to eval after loading tramp.el

(fset #'tramp-read-passwd
      (lambda (key &optional prompt)
        (password-read (or prompt "Password: ") key)))
