You can do one of three things:

- stop blocking non-auth users

- stop caring about non-auth users having to click

- up the negative_auth_ttl , so the auth requests form squid get reduced
(auth user logging in in with wrong password will be blocked for this
timeout so be wary)

Squid does not cannot know who is allowed where before they auth
properly. There is no other way than auth TTL to prevent these re-auth
requests.
