As I understand it: yes.

See:
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CompleteFaq#head-663844d925e559109734bd02d6dd049a861197e0

which says:
"Windows NT Challenge/Response authentication requires implicit
end-to-end state and will not work through a proxy server."

I ran into this last week, and asked the IIS admin to switch to basic
authentication + SSL instead -- which does work through Squid.
