What you are asking for would require code changes to app_rpt
and use of an IAX/allstar and not an Echolink connection.

VOIP connections are radio connections are treated differently in
app_rpt and echolink connections and they cannot be manipulated using
extension logic. All incoming echolink connections go directly to the
echolink channel driver.

The app_rpt code does not support greeting incoming connections
(echolink, irlp, or allstar) with a password on standard nodes.

Echolink connections are inherently half duplex, and useless for
carrying an autopatch call. The radio connection would have to be
IAX2/allstar to support a remote autopatch, and if this is the case,
then you'd have to have asterisk installed at the repeater and replace
the echolink software. (Probably what you are trying to avoid).
