I thought that nessus would still try and use those plugins if they were 
enabled but with null
values. Is this wrong and nessus won't even attempt to use the plugins if no 
credentials are given?

A few plugins will try to login but won't succeed if you don't provide credentials. Most, though, will either not be run or exit quickly, depending on whether you've configured the scan to be optimized.
