Since this is the first answer on google, give sshpass absolute path like /usr/bin/sshpass. you can get the path by which sshpass. I also added /usr/bin/ssh to be sure.

It worked after adding -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no

sshpass -p 'password' ssh -o StrictHostKeyChecking=no user@server "touch /tmp/test"
