Well, there is the following command exchange:

Well, that's fine. You login to the host gateway, and you are asked for
the host.

I don't understand why you pass your password with the -pw option,
that's not necessary (and a security flaw). But it doesn't matter for
functionality.

Hmm, looks like you have sent "gateway" as final host name, which is not
allowed. You must send the real hostname where you want to go to. in
your function

(defun my-tramp-action (proc vec)
  "Enter the host name in order to give a correct answer."
  (save-window-excursion
    (with-current-buffer (tramp-get-connection-buffer vec)
      (tramp-message vec 6 "\n%s" (buffer-string))
      (tramp-send-string vec "hostname"))))

"hostname" must be this real host name. Maybe you need also a trailing
newline, then apply

      (tramp-send-string vec "hostname\n"))))

Best regards, Michael.
