I think this answers your question.

The default answer file:

+# HTTP Proxy URL (example: http://172.31.1.1)
+proxy_url = NONE
+
+# HTTP Proxy port (default: 3128)
+proxy_port = NONE
+
+# HTTP Proxy user (proxy username, if auth is required)
+proxy_user = NONE
+
+# HTTP Proxy pass (proxy password, if auth is required)
+proxy_pass = NONE
+

Basically these are set to 'NONE' and the pulp.conf file writes them out
as commented out (just like today).

 So, the default is that if not used, they stay commented out. If you
set any of them to anything other than NONE, we write that specific
configuration value into pulp.conf for HTTP Proxy. I took the example
formatting text from grinder yum --help output.
