Hmm, perhaps this is relevant, from squid.conf.default :

#                    use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
#                    the upstream proxy. This will pass the users credentials
#                    as they are to the peer proxy. This only works for the
#                    Basic HTTP authentication scheme. Note: To combine this
#                    with proxy_auth both proxies must share the same user
#                    database as HTTP only allows for one proxy login.
#                                
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
#                    Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
#                    password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION


Note the remark, that apparently, only one of the 2 can use auth.
If the 2 proxies need auth, you can login=PASS on the cache_peer
argument, provided they use the same user database.
