It's not possible to use password-protected ssh keys directly with libvirt because libvirt doesn't have any way to prompt a user for the password. To accomodate password-protected key files, an administrator can add these keys to an ssh agent and then configure the domain with the path to the ssh-agent socket. Note that this requires an administrator or management app to configure the ssh-agent with an appropriate socket path and add the necessary keys to it. In addition, it does not currently work with selinux enabled. The ssh-agent socket would need a label that libvirt would be allowed to access rather than unconfined_t.
