I think you missed something here: there are two pieces for authentication:
 1/ where the authentication data are stored (.htaccess, Postgres, whatever)
 2/ how an user is authenticated against the storage data

You can change 1/ with a different backend, but you still need to
configure your web server to tell it where to find authentication data
and how to use them. You can use a Postgres backend as the
authentication storage if you want, but that does not eliminate the
need to define the appropriate rules in the web server configuration.

BTW, Trac does not handle authentication at all (it's the web server
role), only permissions. It is therefore agnostic about the
authentication storage backend.

I strongly advise your first use .htaccess to configure the
authentication rules, then once it work, move to a Postgres backend in
a second phase.
