You cannot. You can configure squid to offer both NTLM and basuc, but it
is up to the users browser to choose which to use.

See squid.conf.default for the example config which will do all three
supported protocols,
See rfc 2617 for details on the HTTP authentication mechanism, including
the manner in which clients are meant to choose the authentication
protocol.
