Actually yes, this completion is disabled, but why do you have to start 
tramp to have such completion?
i.e There is no need to start tramp to make a completion based on the
content of ~/.ssh/config

Maybe tramp should have other regexp(s) that (try to) complete this without
starting tramp.

Note that this kind of completion lead to bugs in other places in Emacs.
e.g create an ssh hostname in ~/.ssh/config that start by "t", and in
eshell, write /t and <tab> to complete to "/tmp"; tramp will start and 
fail.
