Hi,
I am baffled about exactly the same thing; why is it using something not configured. I do not know about config.php.inc, below are the credentials configured on the config.php file including what I have configured on the database itself.
### Database config
$config['db_host'] = "localhost";
$config['db_user'] = "observium";
$config['db_pass'] = "xxxxxx";
$config['db_name'] = "observium";
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON observium.* TO 'observium'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'xxxxxx';
I can also connect to the database using the configured credentials;
brucem@ubuntu:/opt/observium$ mysql -u observium -pxxxxxx

are you sure you configured the DB params in config.php.inc ? it seems you are trying to access using root and empty password.
