Unfortunately not possible.

Digest authentication need access to the plaintext password or the
Digest MD5 hashed variant thereof..

Quite recently the Radius protocol has got some Digest support, but due
to various reasons this isn't usable for Squid, and even if Squid could
it would perform rather poorly with one roundtrip to the radius server
on each and every http request.
