sslproxy_* options is the wrong place. You as you discovered you need to
set these SSL parameters in the https_port line.

sslproxy_* parameters control what Squid requires on outgoing SSL
connections it makes when forwarding an https:// URL and not using a
peer... I very much doubt you need to care about these. There is two
main situations when Squid forwards https:// URLs

  a) When requested by a client without native SSL support. I.e. old
versions of lynx.

  b) When using a redirector to rewrite http:// URLs into https://
without usign a browser redirect.

  C) an ssl reverse proxy configured with direct forwarding without
using cache_peer.
