On top of what you have already done, on the server side, please put this
into your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file and RESTART the daemon

AuthenticationMethods publickey

once done, it will first ask for the public key and if that is not
presented by the client, will refuse to go any further (i.e., not password
question should be asked).

Hope this helps
Kind regards
