Thanks, that was easy... but:

That does not work:

https_port 3128 accel defaultsite=www.example.com cert=/example/cert.pem key=/
example/key.pem cipher=ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:!RC4:!MD5

openssl s_client -connect localhost:3128
140048907216536:error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert 
handshake failure:s23_clnt.c:769:


Allowing RC4 and MD5 works:

https_port 3128 accel defaultsite=www.example.com cert=/example/cert.pem key=/
example/key.pem cipher=ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:RC4:MD5

openssl s_client -connect localhost:3128
    Cipher    : ECDH-ECDSA-RC4-SHA


But openssl works without allowing RC4 and MD5:

openssl s_server -cert /example/cert.pem -key /example/key.pem -cipher 'ECDHE-
ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:!RC4:!MD5'

openssl s_client -connect localhost:4433 
    Cipher    : ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384


So I guess the certificate and the openssl part should work. 
Maybe you could give another advice?
