In that case, it might be better if you use connection-local variables
in order to disable auth-sources for Tramp. Something like this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(connection-local-set-profile-variables
 'remote-without-auth-sources '((auth-sources . nil)))

(connection-local-set-profiles
 '(:application tramp) 'remote-without-auth-sources)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

It seems to work with Emacs 27.1, but not in all cases. You might try
it.

I've applied a patch to Tramp to let it work robustly, for all
backends. Available with Tramp 2.5.0, which is scheduled for end of this
year via GNU ELPA.
