This is not a squid problem but a limitation of the NTLM protocol which was not designed to work through a proxy. This protocol needs a direct end-to end connection. I think I remember a discussion how it is possible to circumvent this but to my knowledge no real solution nor a workaround has been proposed.

One could put it another way round: it is not a good idea to use NTLM on a publicly accessible website, on the one hand because the website will not be accessible from inside many corporate networks, on the other hand because NTLM has a lot of security implications and limitation when run on a publicly accessible server.
