The option alone is not enough to enable SSL support. Your version also
requires --enable-ssl

However, what you are trying to do has not worked in that version for
some years. When you want to participate in the arms race that is
SSL-Bump you must use the latest of the latest versions of Squid. Today
that is squid-3.5.4 snapshot r18325 or later.

-X will spew out so much information the critical piece gets lost.

* Ensure your Squid is built with both the above mentioned ./configure
options.

* Run squid -k parse

* Run normally. cache.log will contain any critical messages.
 - in this case I suspect a mesage from the ssl_crtd heleper about
initializing its certificate database.

* If necessary add "debugs_options ALL,1" to your squid.conf to get
non-critical but important messages as well.
