With par("xaxp") you read the current status of the plot, you cannot set
it.
Use par("lab") for these purposes (only approx. number of intervals can
be given) or add the axis explicitly with axis(), e.g.:

  par("lab" = c(10,5,5))
  plot(...)

or better for your case:

  plot(..., xaxt = "n")
  axis(1, at = seq(0, 150, 15))

But not in the example above.
