No, never

Never lubricate any form of taper fit. All it does is cause the parts to slip too far and become more difficult to separate later.

Just make sure both surfaces are as clean as possible and slip them together. If removal is difficult, use heat - the thermal coefficient of expansion of the brass (female) part is higher than the steel (male) part .
