I try to configure my sshd to accept only pubkey logins and
no logins with passwords.

To my understanding of the manuals, the "PasswordAuthentication" option is used for that.
I set it to no.

But still, no matter what I change these two configurations
to (restart or even reboot included), password login is still possible, even for the root user.

If your sshd is built with PAM support (and I suspect it is) you will also need to disable ChallengeResponseAuthentication.

    Good judgement comes with experience. Unfortunately, the experience
usually comes from bad judgement.
