Summary: KDE proxy settings are not picked up by libproxy

SUMMARY
libproxy has support for KDE5/KF5 since 2016 or so. But on KDE neon it seems to
ignore the KDE proxy settings whatever I do.
The actual issue which made me look into this is because the Chromium flatpak
package doesn't pick up my proxy settings properly even though I have the
proper portal installed. I am not sure if that portal actually uses libproxy
but the KDE neon libproxy is "broken" anyway.
I have the bad feeling that this is some kind of rabbit hole and the bug is
actually within the Debian libproxy package. But since I use KDE neon and you
probably have better means of debugging this and better connections to
Debian/Ubuntu than me, I start here.
The reason I think this issue might be in the Debian packages are
* There exists and additional package is called "libproxy1-plugin-kconfig" and
its description was not updated for quite a while (still talks about KDE 4
only)
* The version is not the newest but there are no relevant changes in
https://github.com/libproxy/libproxy/compare/0.4.15...0.4.17?diff=split#diff-3dbb675e161f4d417c91967f12d5a0040becc75023d2931c890cce78d64e6eac
(at least regarding the file libproxy/modules/config_kde.cpp)
* Official support for KDE5/KF5 is already present in the version installed
Side note: Shouldn't KDE neon install libproxy1-plugin-kconfig per default?
(Assuming it works of course.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install the libproxy tools and KConfig backend via `sudo apt install
libproxy-tools libproxy1-plugin-kconfig`
2. Configure a proxy in KDE, for simplicity:
2.1 Use manually specific proxy configuration
2.2 HTTP Proxy: 127.0.0.1 Port: 8080
2.3 [x] Use this proxy server for all protocols
3. Open Konsole
3.1 Execute `proxy <<< example.org`
OBSERVED RESULT
Output is direct://
EXPECTED RESULT
It should probably be something like http://127.0.0.1:8080
