Squid can not know it is patrick until he has told he is.

By excluding patrick from the myuser acl you do not exclude patrick
from authentication, you exclude him from the permissions given by
http_access to the myuser acl.

You have to base the access controls for patrick on something else
than login. This usually means basing the access control on the IP
address of his computer.
