What I decided to look for, without success, is a way to press a
key sequence and it have it paste a password at the current cursor

Is there something that will do this?

Hi there! That doesn't seem to work for me. I realize ^M should be
entered as Ctrl+V, Ctrl+M. What about ^[[24~?
same as Ctrl+V, Ctrl+M .. type:
Ctrl+V, F12
iow ^[ is a single "character".. not the same thing at all as typing a
"^" followed by a "["
.. to verify this, type Ctrl+V, Ctrl+M at the bash prompt and then use
backspace to erase what you just typed. You will notice that you need
only one backspace keystroke to erase ^[
another way of typing/coding the same bind command that may (?) be less
confusing is to use GNU emacs style escape sequences:
bind '"\e[24~":"passwd\C-M"'
this syntax is "wysiwyg".. you enter the above exactly as it appears on
your display.
man readline has the details.
