There are two different ports - the http proxy port (which is commonly set to 3128 or 8080) which is used for inbound traffic (from your browser) and the outbound http port (which is used to fetch content from web servers on port 80).
Changing the inbound proxy port won't make any difference to the fact that outbound http traffic on port 80 will get redirected.
You can configure your proxy to use a parent proxy on say port 8080 if you want to bypass the redirection process if that is broken, but you will still be using an upstream proxy.
The only real way to completely bypass proxies is to encapsulate your web traffic via an application web tunneling gateway on the internet somewhere. But that in itself can caus all sorts of performance problems with packet fragmentation etc. and you need a server on the internet.
