send traffic from 77.242.48.151 when username1 making the request.

> tcp_outgoing_address 77.242.48.152 username2

send traffic from 77.242.48.152 when username2 making the request.

Picks first IP assigned on default interface when anyone other than
username1 and username2 are making the request (if allowed).

Assuming thats all...
Implicit deny for anyone not username1 or username2.

Downright weird, since htpasswd has nothing to do with IP addresses.
Are you sure you added (-b) ALL the username/password combos to the
/etc/squid/squid_passwd file after doing that create (-c) command?

Like this:
  htpasswd -c /etc/squid/squid_passwd username1
  htpasswd -b /etc/squid/squid_passwd username2
  htpasswd -b /etc/squid/squid_passwd username3
  ...

If so , also check your auth settings. You may have set a limit on the
number of IPs per user, or users per IP (Squid default is to accept any
amount).
