In order for requests to arrive in "http_port 10.67.124.57:8443" they
have to have port ":8443" as the destination port. Since origin requests
have the domain:port part in the Host: header AND it is not the default
port for HTTP that is where Squid places it.

If you want Squid to fake the arriving port back to 80 use "vport=80" on
the http_port 8443 line.

If you find it is happening on requests arriving in the http_port 80
line that is a bug. Please try and replicate it on a current release of
Squid.
