What is the value of SSH_AUTH_SOCK environment variable after you ssh into the remote Mac? It should be separate from the socket used by 1Password when logged in locally via the desktop. i.e. on the remote host via ssh, it should NOT be something like ~/Library/Group Containers/2BUA8C4S2C.com.1password/t/agent.sock. Typically it should be something under /tmp and unique for each ssh session.

I think I used to have this issue too, until I customized my environment pretty heavily to ensure 1Password SSH Agent and CLI works reliably over SSH and tmux sessions.
