Unfortunately, there is no "out of the box" solution. LDAP integration in
Squid is only supported with basic authentication, and basic authentication
sends the password cleartext over the network to the proxy.

What you can do is use Stunnel (or a similar program) to setup an encrypted
channel between the clients and the proxy server. The username and password
will travel over this channel and be encrypted in transit.
