Use an external_acl_type and set the TTL low. Doing so is going to have a negative effect on your performance.

Running a process in the background that monitors the acl file and runs "squid -k reconfigure" when said file changes would likely work as an alternative. Other tools may be available to perform the service you are looking for with more grace.
