All these authentication mechanisms can be confusing, since many can
overlap. Just throw in challengeresponse, keyboard-interactive, password,
kerberos (via ticket or password), S/Key (which is challengeresponse but
can also be used via PAM) and so on.

Is there another document besides the man page sshd_config(5)
which explains all the available mechanisms in more detail? Or "just" the
RFC/protocol/standard/whatever description?
