Should be "/telnet:test.socksify.com:", of course.

Nope. That is the target you want to reach with your telnet command,
as far as I understand socksify. So you would open
"/telnet:USERNAME@IPaddress#portnumber" in your case.

The configuration of `tramp-default-proxies-alist' is equivalent to
what you need to configure in socks.conf for socksify.
