Sounds like your old Squid included an inofficial patch for integration
with MySQL.
Probably the patch by Matthew Naylor linked from the
devel.squid-cache.org. Unfortunately his page is not available anymore but
it is archived by the WayBackMatchine (great tool btw)
http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www-users.york.ac.uk/~mfn100/squid_mysql.html
To my knowledge noone has written an external_acl replacement for this
yet. If you know a little of programming in any language with mysql
support you are welcome to take a stab at this. To give some scale on the
project writing an mysql external_acl helper in for example perl should
not be much more than a handful of lines, plus command line parameter
parsing, usage instructions etc if desired to make it easy to use.
