No.

MPPE requires encryption keys. These can be generated by whatever auth 
method.

If you use plain MSCHAP, MSCHAP generates them.

If you use PEAP/MSCHAP, PEAP generates them - the MSCHAP MPPE keys are 
thrown away, and not used.

If you use PEAP/GTC, again PEAP generates the MPPE keys.

If you use TTLS/PAP, TTLS generates the MPPE keys.
