'Setup http proxy in order to to invoke WCF service reference

I added a WCF service reference to external soap web service. It's all good until i publish the solution to an internal machine which need to setup a proxy (with Basic auth user/password) to be able to invoke WS.

In .net framework, it was just add a section config to setup the proxy. I need the same in a .net 6 project.. I already tried to create a CustomBinding object to wrap BasicHttpBinding, in order to set the proxy but without success... Anybody can give me some tips to achieve that? Do you have any sample with this use case?

smsClient = new SubmissionManagerClient();

SetProxySettings(smsClient, !string.IsNullOrEmpty(settings.Address), settings.Address, settings.Port, settings.Username, settings.Password);
     
retval = smsClient.sendSmsSubmission(authInfo, smsSubmission);

        private void SetProxySettings<TChannel>(ClientBase<TChannel> client,
            bool useProxy, string address, int port, string login, string password)
            where TChannel : class
        {
            if (!useProxy) return;

            var b = client.Endpoint.Binding as BasicHttpBinding;
            if (b == null)
            {
                this.logger.LogWarning("Binding of this endpoint is not BasicHttpBinding");
                return;
            }

            b.ProxyAddress = new Uri(string.Format("http://{0}:{1}", address, port));
            b.UseDefaultWebProxy = false;
            b.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport;
            b.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None; 
            b.Security.Transport.ProxyCredentialType = HttpProxyCredentialType.Basic;

            if (client.ClientCredentials == null)
            {
                this.logger.LogWarning("client.ClientCredentials is null");
                return;
            }            

            client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = login;
            client.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = password;
        }

You can try to use TransportCredentialOnly instead of Transport in binding safe mode.
EDIT
Maybe you can try the code below:

var binding = new BasicHttpBinding();
        binding.ProxyAddress = new Uri(string.Format("http://{0}:{1}", proxyAddress, proxyPort));
        binding.UseDefaultWebProxy = false;
        binding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.Transport;
        binding.Security.Transport.ClientCredentialType = HttpClientCredentialType.None;
        binding.Security.Transport.ProxyCredentialType = HttpProxyCredentialType.Basic;

        var endpoint = new EndpointAddress("serviceadress");

        var authenticationClient = new WOKMWSAuthenticateClient(binding, endpoint);
        authenticationClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = username;
        authenticationClient.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = password;


Make sure that the securitymode of the server and client is the same.
