Hmm, perhaps this is relevant, from squid.conf.default :

# use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
# the upstream proxy. This will pass the users credentials
# as they are to the peer proxy. This only works for the
# Basic HTTP authentication scheme. Note: To combine this
# with proxy_auth both proxies must share the same user
# database as HTTP only allows for one proxy login.
#
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
# Also be warned this will expose your users proxy
# password to the peer. USE WITH CAUTION

Note the remark, that apparently, only one of the 2 can use auth.
If the 2 proxies need auth, you can login=PASS on the cache_peer
argument, provided they use the same user database.
