I think what you are seeing here is two separate connection attempts.
libpq will try an SSL connection, and that one is seemingly failing
with a bad password. Then it'll try a non-SSL connection, and that
one is getting rejected by the server because "hostssl" doesn't
permit it, leading to your second message (which clearly shows
that that connection wasn't ssl-encrypted).

You could adjust your connection parameters on the client side to
prevent the useless non-SSL connection attempt. But of course the
real question is how come the password authentication failed in
the first attempt. Looking into the server's log might yield
a clue.
