There is your problem.

Nesting daemon managers leads to major problems tracking what PID is
responsible for what. The 'squid' process is a daemon manager, so is
systemd.

With Squid-3 the closest to a solution you will be able to get is to add
the -N command line option to disable the Squid daemon manager (and SMP
features).

Please upgrade to Squid-4 though, it has support for integrating with
systemd which does not require useful SMP features to be disabled.
