This can't be proxied. But hopefully the main one is also doing basic
authentication which can..

Not if you want users to authenticate. Yes if you only want the second
proxy to authenticate to the main proxy.

For user authentication to work the browser MUST be configured to use
a proxy.

For NTLM user authentication the browser MUST be talking directly to
the server requiring NTLM authentication (be this a web server or a
proxy)
