We can not control the rep_mime_type acl types using with http_access. We have to use http_reply_access to control rep_mime_type
acl's.
see TAG http_reply_access.

To block mime types in your acl setup then use as,

# Acl setup
acl deny_programs req_mime_type ^image/gif$
acl deny_program2 rep_mime_type ^image/gif$

# http_access - upstream
http_access deny deny_programs
http_access deny unsafe_domains
http_access deny deny_files2
http_access allow 192.168
http_access allow 10.1.4
http_access allow deny

# http_reply_access - downstream
http_reply_access deny program2
http_reply_access allow all
