Yes, provided your accelerator uses the same login+password database
as your Exchange server. The HTTP protocol only has room for a single
login slot for the web server per request (accelerators counts as
part of the web server in terms of HTTP).

If you want to have different logins for the accelerator and exchange
server then at least one of the two must use cookie based
authentication, but I am not sure if Exchange supports cookie
authentication and there is no helper published for cookie based
authentication to Squid accelerators.
