According to this error:

fe_sendauth: no password supplied

You need to check the permissions set in the pg_hba.conf file on the remote server. Likely, you do not allow remote connections to connect to the server. It should look something like this, for example:

# TYPE  DATABASE    USER        CIDR-ADDRESS          METHOD

# "local" is for Unix domain socket connections only
local   all         all                               trust
# IPv4 local connections:
host    all         all         127.0.0.1/32          trust
# IPv6 local connections:
host    all         all         ::1/128               trust
# Remote connections
host    your_db     your_user   (Client IP ADDR)      md5

You can use 0.0.0.0/0, but that will allow connections from any host.
