That is not the use case you have mentioned initially. You said, that
you have set some local variables in your file, which were not applied
because Tramp has written a temporary file.

I believe such an example of a file with local variables would be
helpful.

If Tramp bothers you again and again with password requests (not related
to EPA), you might check 

  (info "(tramp)Password handling")
