They sound like real professionals.

This is really a question your ISP should answer.  I suspect the
answer is 'yes'.

Here's the example from /etc/ppp/ppp.conf.sample:

# If the peer requires to use CHAP, don't forget to supply authname
# and authkey.
#
# If you'd like to use CHAP to authenticate with the peer, comment out
# the line ``enable chap'' below. You also need to prepare /etc/ppp.secret.
#
# If the remote system sends its system name within the CHAP packet and it
# is found in /etc/ppp.secret, then the secret key is taken from that file
# and value of authkey specified here is ignored.
#
chapsite:
 set phone 12345678
 set login "TIMEOUT 5 login:-\\r-login: ppp word: ppp"
 deny pap
 accept chap
# enable chap
 set authname MySystemName
 set authkey  OurSecretKey


If you're not using login prompts (the normal case), just remove the
'set login' line:

chapsite:
 set phone 12345678
 deny pap
 accept chap
# enable chap
 set authname MySystemName
 set authkey  OurSecretKey

You'll note that 'enable chap' has been commented out.  That's the
normal way: the ISP authenticates you, but you don't authenticate the
ISP.
