The documentation for each of those directives can be found at urls of
the form http://nginx.org/r/proxy_read_timeout

Most likely, the proxy_* ones are not used because you do not have a
matching proxy_pass.

You use uwsgi_pass. So investigate directives like uwsgi_read_timeout,
at http://nginx.org/r/uwsgi_read_timeout
