session != authentication

The match/no-match ACL result is based on whether a session existed
*prior* to the test. It is simply a test "have I seen you before?
yes/no", the no's get a splash page.

What you are looking for is the passive mode splash screen. Simply
testing the ACL with the helper in passive mode creates or updates a
session.
