NTLM or authentication can not be forwarded due to the cryptographic
design of the this authentication schemes.

If you use NTLM authentication in an environment where your Squid has to
login to a parent proxy then the connection to the parent proxy must use a
static login + password. Only if you use Basic authentication can the
end-users authentication be forwarded to the parent.
