It is not the credential is wrong but through the proxy the credential are not working. If I disable the anonymity everything is running well. What might be the problem ?

Removing the allows for those headers I mentioned is about as close as
you can get in Squid 2.7. Real anonymity will break a lot of access to
many websites these days which "require" identity details to access. As
you found the phpmyadmin etc and anywhere where you have to register and
login.
