Looks to me like you need a combination of scpc and sshx. Hmm, that's a
problem, Tramp does not support to combine methods.

What about creating your own method? Something like this in your .emacs:

(add-to-list 'tramp-methods
  '("myssh"
    (tramp-login-program        "ssh")
    (tramp-login-args           (("-l" "%u") ("-p" "%p")
                                 ("-o" "address@hidden:%%p")
                                 ("-o" "ControlMaster=yes")
                                 ("-e" "none") ("-t" "-t")
                                 ("%h") ("/bin/sh")))
    (tramp-async-args           (("-q")))
    (tramp-remote-sh            "/bin/sh")
    (tramp-default-port         22)))
