Both yes and no. Not without a bit of coding, but technically this is
possible to solve when using the Basic authentication scheme.

It is possible to tell external_acl_type to send the Proxy-Authorization
header to the group helper, but to make use of this the helper needs to be
extended with the capability of accpepting this input and use it for the
bind password.

Unfortunately not as the two run in separate processes and also separate
in time..
