Aragorn didn't have to "use" Osanwë to intimidate the Mouth, just as any strong person doesn't have to use supernatural skills to intimidate a weaker person. The Mouth of Sauron was perceptive, he had to be to scale the hierarchial ladder like that. At first glance, and shielded by his arrogance and close-mindedness, Aragorn just seemed like another petty king leading a group of "mindless rabble" with a "piece of elvish glass." But with a closer look, the Mouth realized that this was no ordinary person he was messing with.

There is a big, physical difference between a strong, steady person and a weak, vacillating person. You can tell straight off the bat, who is strong and who is weak. Even an Orc could have realized that Aragorn wasn't a man to be trifled with.
