I had a similar issue while running git via Remote SSH inside of Visual Studio Code. Turns out that VSCode by default sets itself up as authentication handler and sets $GIT_ASKPASS to a script ($HOME/.vscode-server/bin/*/extensions/git/dist/askpass.sh), which it uses to set/override git credentials.

This can be overridden by setting git.terminalAuthentication to false (aka. Git: Terminal Authentication) and effectively removes the $GIT_ASKPASS environment variable from the terminal.
