Seems to works if I replace `password' with `secret'.

It does actually mention secret in the paragraph above that example:
If the user, host, or port are missing, the alist
‘auth-source-creation-prompts’ will be used to look up the
prompts IN THAT ORDER (so the ‘user’ prompt will be queried first,
then ‘host’, then ‘port’, and finally ‘secret’).
But having a broken example doesn't help.
