and what would the 511 contain?

There is no path forward from there for proxy HTTP auth, And there won't
ever be.

511 is just an server error response code, unrelated to authentication
as such. It's meant for captive portals where session state is kept
separately, i.e. forms based logins keeping state linked to the
requesting IP.
