Can a base game be played with no Cylon among the players?

The rulebook's deck table sets the Cylon cards for each player count, and the posts agree.

No. The base game always puts at least one "You Are a Cylon" card into the Loyalty deck: one in three- and four-player games, and two in five- and six-player games. Early in the game no Cylon may be revealed, which is a normal outcome and not a sign that no Cylons are in play.
