finally solved it and its working really nicely
what i did was to monitor the "access.log" using the watch and tail command to see what websites it was actually going to
#Block MIME types
acl mimetype urlpath_regex -i \.exe$ \.msi$
http_access deny mimetype
#HTTPS whitelist websites
acl whitelist ssl::server_name "/etc/squid/whitelist.txt"
http_access allow whitelist
http_access deny all
cat /etc/squid/whitelist.txt
.bing.com
.msedge.net
.msftauth.net
.msauth.net
.msocdn.com
.office.com
.office365.com
