You don't seem to know what you want (or I am not able to understand what
you want).

- you don't want to create a user for the PPP calls
- you don't want to put the login data into chap-secrets

Where do you want pppd to look for the username/password pairs?

If I misunderstood you, please try next time to write in full,
grammatically correct sentences.  Break your paragraphs for easier
understandability.  Remember that you'll get a better response if
the question can be understood.
