I always set the default SDDM background to solid gray color to avoid hurting my eyes when I boot my laptop in a room with low brightness.

So my file "/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze/theme.conf.user" contains this:

[General]
background=
color=#1c1e21

But if I enabled autologin in Plasma Settings/SDDM/Behavior page, then click on that Apply button, it adds another line to the file above and becomes:

[General]
background=
color=#1c1e21
type=image

This will force that default cartoonish wallpaper.

Huh, I didn't know SDDM supported solid colors like that.
