I think that Eshel is right about setting `completion-in-region-function`
to a new function.  This function should be like `completion--in-region`
but without this line:

  (completion--in-region-1 start end)

If you just remove this line from `completion--in-region` then
it should work like you expected without popping up *Completions*.
