HTTPS is supposed to offer end-to-end security. Squid attempts to
simulate that behaviour even when bumping. So by default bumped
traffic will be re-encrypted and sent directly to the origin server as
per DNS records.

What you have configured forces that not to happen then sends the
de-crypted traffic to the peer proxy as HTTP. The peer is rejecting
the un-encrypted protocol containing https:// URLs with a 503 for
whatever reason.

If the other peer is another Squid then chances are still fairly high
that it has been built without OpenSSL support and so literally cannot
open the TLS connection to deliver the https:// request to the origin.

Generating new CONNECT tunnels over peer proxies has not yet been
coded for Squid. Nobody seems willing sponsor its development, despite
all these problems bumping is now causing.
