    I tried various setting of this option with the anonymous_enable option with these results.

    anonymous_enable=NO
    no_anon_password=NO

    attempting to logon anonymously requires a password
    ---------------------------------------------------

    anonymous_enable=NO
    no_anon_password=YES

    attempting to logon anonymously requires a password
    ---------------------------------------------------

    anonymous_enable=YES
    no_anon_password=NO

    attempting to logon anonymously DOES NOT requires a password
    ---------------------------------------------------

    anonymous_enable=NO
    no_anon_password=NO

    attempting to logon anonymously DOES NOT requires a password
    ---------------------------------------------------

    So I tried with the anonymous_enable option commented out wit these results.

    #anonymous_enable=NO
    no_anon_password=YES

    attempting to logon anonymously DOES NOT requires a password
    ---------------------------------------------------

    #anonymous_enable=NO
    no_anon_password=NO

    attempting to logon anonymously DOES NOT requires a password
    ---------------------------------------------------

    Since the no_anon_password option doesn't seem to do anything, what's it for?
