Bitcoin Core and Tor

Hi there, my plan was to use Tor with Bitcoin Core . The configuration in plan was this :

# run server - Accept command line and JSON-RPC commands. This allows other wallets to interact with Full Node.
server=1

# Prune the node. Reduces storage requirements by only storing most recent N MiB of blocks. 
prune=10000

# No incoming connections allowed.
listen=0

# Node will only route through Tor network. Important for Privacy.
onion=127.0.0.1:9050
listenonion=1
onlynet=onion
proxy=127.0.0.1:9050
proxyrandomize=1

# RPC access
rpcport=8332
# just run ./rpcauth.py USERNAME ALPHA-NUMERIC-PASSWORD
# https://raw.githubusercontent.com/bit...
rpcauth=XXX 

Using this setup Bitcoin Core works fine ,but Tor does not. Should the port say 9051 ? Should I maybe just change the settings in Bitcoin Core to use Tor to simplify things ?
