Short answer: no / maybe.

That would kind of prohibit its being used as a direct replacement for
ntlm_auth used for NTLM and Negotiate/NTLM auth protocols.

You could move to Negotiate/Kerberos though. Other helpers are already
provided with Squid for that. To use SSSD someone would have to figure
out how to write a helper integrating it with Squid.
