Ok. As you suspect this can (almost) be done with external_acl_type.

What you need is

a) A silly helper echoing the username back to Squid. This helper will be
given the username from the header as input by Squid.

b) You need to use the ident acl, not proxy_auth. And should also disable
client side persistent connections when doing this (the 2.5 implementation
piggy backs on the ident user name which is connection oriented...)
