Yes, assuming we are talking about basic authentication. But due to
security implications when peering with proxies maybe not under your
control you must explicitly allow it per peer. See the cache_peer
directive.

The host & port will be that of your proxy as that is what the client is
talking to, but the realm should be what is presented by the upstream
proxy.
