Use autoexpect. It will write the expect script for you. I can't think of any reason why this wouldn't work.

It probably will, but there are severe security issues with this sort (plain text passwords) of approach. I try to avoid those like the plague they can turn out to be, usually when you least expect or need it.

There are no doubt severe security issues with this method, but the OP stated that key-authenticated sessions were not permissible. He would be better off encouraging the powers that be to allow key-authenticated session.
