I found a solution!
Problem was with IPv6.
When squid tries to run the helper he asks IPv6, which I have disabled.
Therefore, in logs appears following line of code:
WARNING: Cannot run '/usr/lib/squid3/ext_ldap_group_acl' process.
As far as I have good understanding of the process, squid do not stop to
restart the helper. Therefore in logs appears:
WARNING: external ACL 'memberof' queue overload. Request rejected
'administrator InternetAccess'
The solution is to put the ipv4 flag in front of %LOGIN just like this:
external_acl_type memberof ipv4 %LOGIN
/usr/lib/squid3/ext_ldap_group_acl -P -R -K -b "dc=dot,dc=lan" -f
"(&(cn=%v)(memberOf=cn=%g,cn=Users,dc=dot,dc=lan))" -D
nslcd-service@xxxxxxx -w "Pa77w0rd" -h ubuntu.dot.lan
Thank you everyone. Special thanks to Eliezer. The debug_options is very
helpful ;)

Hi Eliezer,
I use this LDAP group helper with following options:
external_acl_type memberof %LOGIN
/usr/lib/squid3/ext_ldap_group_acl -P -R -K -b "dc=dot,dc=lan" -f
"(&(cn=%v)(memberOf=cn=%g,cn=Users,dc=dot,dc=lan))" -D
nslcd-service@xxxxxxx -w "Pa77w0rd" -h ubuntu.dot.lan
As you advised me I followed
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/DebugSections
And the new line in squid.conf is:
debug_options 82,9 84,9
So it is now only about helpers.
I reed once the
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.3/cfgman/external_acl_type.html
And already tried to put ttl=50 with no luck. With children-* I put
everything on 50 also with no luck.
Logs
I found strange behaviour in log, which shows up in startup:
2013/11/13 15:24:01.051| WARNING: Cannot run
'/usr/lib/squid3/ext_ldap_group_acl' process.
What is wrong here?

Hey,

Those messages shows us what happens inside squid in order to understand
the reason of what causing the problem.
you can see about the meaning of each log "number" here:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/KnowledgeBase/DebugSections
but all the hexes and surrounding stuff is irrelevant.
What is important is that for now:
2013/11/13 00:47:28.349| WARNING: external ACL 'memberof' queue
overload. Request rejected 'administrator InternetAccess'.

2013/11/13 00:47:28.349| Acl.cc(321) checklistMatches:
ACL::ChecklistMatches: result for 'InetAccess' is -1
It means that the external_acl helper is not doing his job based on
either mismatch of settings or wrong function.
It will be clear once you stop squid and then:
1. enter the right debug_options in squid.conf.
2. start tapping the logs using "tail -f /var/log/squid/cache.log"
3. start squid
4. do only one or two request on squid.
5. share the logs.
If you think there is private information in it you can send it to me
via personal email or strip any private data.
I do not know what is the helper that your are using but you are missing
some parameters from squid.conf to allow the helper work without problem.
You should consider looking at:
http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.3/cfgman/external_acl_type.html
and especially at the related "children" settings.
