From my experience with that: Telegram restored all unecrypted chats when I swapped phones without asking me for any passwort / key. I literally just confirmed my phone number and all my chats / groups / contacts appeared.

I assume you still had access to your old phone and could approve the transfer from it. If not, then your phone number is your password, which is even worse, in my opinion (it’s basically public information).
