Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Problem - while not ideal, on my home network my MQTT server uses anonymous access and NetAlertX requires the username and password be filled in

Describe the solution you'd like

While not consistent with best practices I would greatly appreciate it if the Username and password could be optional so thata anonymous access will work.

Describe alternatives you've considered

1. changing all of the other systems I have that use MQTT to provide the username and password.
2. I have tried setting up the username and password under mosquitto but it fails when restarting it from docker and does not generate any logs.
3. modifying the mqtt.py application file to comment out the username and password checks in the file. But it's a read only volume.

Anything else?

Am I willing to test this? 🧪
