I think the context for this zstyle won't match. Try something like:
  zstyle ':completion::*:ssh:*:hosts' hosts $sconf
or perhaps just:
  zstyle ':completion::*:ssh:*' hosts $sconf

If that doesn't help, try experimenting with the users-hosts style. That
needs a context like ':completion:*:ssh:*:my-accounts'. It also expects
usernames in the style values.

Also useful is ^X? to do a full trace. If you view the trace with less,
filtering it with & can be very useful.

A similar but slightly different option is to just hide the users:
  zstyle ':completion:*:ssh:*:users' hidden true

Sorry that your message didn't get answered sooner.
