Two screws on a diagonal should work fine as long as they are long

Or just use wall anchors (plastic plugs) in the stucco.


Nah.

As others have pointed out, that's a weak way to attach anything to
stucco. After all, it's at best about 1/2" thick. Just use screws long
enough to bite into the wall sheathing (plywood or 3/4" boards).
