Go:

Window -> Preferences -> Web -> CSS files -> Editor -> Content assist.

And make sure the checkboxes are checked

EDIT: Ok... Then try with these:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Content Types -> Text -> JSP -> Add (*.css)

OR

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Content Types -> Text -> Java Source File -> Add (*.css)

Try with these and see if it solves your problem

EDIT 2: Plus try this:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Association -> Add (*.css)

EDIT 3:

Window -> Preferences -> General -> Editors -> File Association

make sure it looks like this, it works for me with the autocompletion:

in fact they are checked, maybe that works in css files only ?

doesn't work either no css proposal, no css template proposal, no default proposal.

Sorry I've been away. Ok, so it's a .JSP file containing xHTML right? Look at my edit.

hmm... there seems to be something really wrong with your environment configuration... this looks like an old bug that could appear in the IDE, that has been fixed, I can't see why you're getting it... I don't know honestly, re-install Eclipse? If that's not too great of an issue..?

You need to install a WTP extension plugin (WTP Web resources). See my answer here https://stackoverflow.com/a/43549935/2459094.
