Add "login=PASS" to your cache_peer line.

From http://www.squid-cache.org/Versions/v3/3.0/cfgman/cache_peer.html...

use 'login=PASS' if users must authenticate against
                     the upstream proxy or in the case of a reverse proxy
                     configuration, the origin web server. This will pass
                     the users credentials as they are to the peer.
                     This only works for the Basic HTTP authentication scheme.
