Here is the full > contents of systemd-ask-password-console.service file [1] Seems you are out of luck. Using the wonderful Debian code search: https://sources.debian.org/src/systemd/236-1/src/shared/ask-password-api.c/?hl=386#L380 it seems the password entry routine either prints each of the password's characters in clear (&c) when the ASK_PASSWORD_ECHO is set, or it prints a star "*" otherwise. So you might try to write your own agent, or file a wishlist bug. But perhaps I'm overlooking something. After all, I'm the absolutely wrong person to answer questions about systemd...
