It is. max_user_ip requires authentication as it needs the login name to
determine how many IP addresses this user is using.

Squid asks for authentication as soon as it reaches a acl requiring a
login name. Not only from proxy_auth acls. proxy_auth acls is just an acl
for matching the login name to a list of logins.

Other acls requiring login names are:

   proxy_auth
   proxy_auth_regex
   max_user_ip
   external, using an external_acl_type with %LOGIN
