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:

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