authenticate_ttl does not do this. It's only an internal bookkeeping
parameter telling Squid how long it should remember the existence of a
user after successful authentication.

HTTP is stateless and the client authenticates to Squid on each and
every requests. There is no session to disconnect.

To "disconnect" users you need to periodically change their password.
