Having invalid connection settings such as a None value for subscription_id in Azure, does not throw a reasonable exception.
E.g. the error thrown is as follows

The ideal behaviour is to accept an empty Config without errors, because sometimes, the config settings may come from a boto config for example. but for provider.authenticate() and any connection related methods to throw an appropriate error, like InvalidProviderSetting or similar. If the setting is definitely invalid, then we can throw an InvalidProviderSetting even earlier, during provider instantiation itself.
