You need to escape percentage signs by putting two:

database_password: 'xx%%xxxxx%%x'

See http://symfony.com/doc/current/service_container/parameters.html#parameters-in-configuration-files for more info.

Note: technically the quotes are unnecessary in this example, but if a %-sign appears at the start of the scalar, the scalar must be quoted.
