You need to specify the configure options needed to turn on NTLM auth -
check configure --help for info.

The Squid NTLM auth helper is for using NTLM to authenticate to Squid
itself, not to other websites. I don't know if what you want is even
possible with Squid. In fact, I don't think even Microsoft recommends using
NTLM auth over the Internet - too easy to steal hashes that way. It's meant
for use on an Intranet.
