This is most likely due to the fact that you can not combine
authentication and transparent interception. For proxy authentication to
be used the browser MUST be configured to use a proxy.

You should notice this by quite massive complaints in cache.log if there
is a users who do not have their proxy settings in the browser.

The above should read

http_access allow manager localhost
http_access deny manager
http_access deny !mylan
http_access deny !Safe_ports
http_access deny CONNECT !SSL_ports
http_access allow myPwd mylan
http_access deny all
