Then something is wrong somewhere. They should only need to enter their
credentials once, just as for basic..

The nounce duration is not a session timer as such. It's more related to
replay attacks on the digest protocol.

Most likely Squid didn't like something of the Digest message sent by
the browser.

debug_options ALL,1 29,9
should give more insight into the Digest processing.

If you enable log_mime_hdrs and repeat the problem with a known password
then we can look into what the browser sent and if it makes sense or
not.

Or at mimimum log_mime_hdrs and get the relevant /407 entries. Maybe
there is something obvious.
