Katello does not use the puppet certificates for a majority of
configuration which means that if you follow the Smart Proxy instructions
you pointed to you'll likely end up with a smart proxy that cannot
communicate back to the server.

Was your DHCP smart proxy an existing smart proxy or a fresh install? I
would recommend looking at how to install a smart proxy when you have a
Katello install:

https://theforeman.org/plugins/katello/3.4/installation/smart_proxy.html

This by default configures the smart proxy with content for syncing content
to an external location or datacenter. If you are not wanting to use this
and thus want a lighter weight smart proxy with your Katello install you
can disable Pulp setup and configuration.
