It dosn't necessarily require Openssh to use them, if your server already has a non-Openssh version of sshd that should be fine.
Once this is working you should be able to do:
Without typing a password.
BTW There are a few reasons why the expect script didn't work:
1. Use type expect to see where it is being run from
2. You need #!/path/to/expect on the first line of your script - otherwise it will be run by sh not expect
3. ssh will not allow passwords to come from a non tty session like expect - it has been specially coded to disallow this.
