Finally i've got it!
After searching in the buglist i found a case describing Problems if you use both authentication and external helpers.
So i tried to disable authentication and use only squid_ldap_group external helper:
auth_param digest program /usr/lib64/squid/digest_ldap_auth -H ldap://127.0.0.1 -v 3 -e -b "ou=0500,dc=drv,dc=drv" -u "uid" -A "userPassword" -D "uid=digestreader,dc=drv,dc=drv" -W "/etc/squid/digestreader_cred"
auth_param digest children 1
auth_param digest realm Proxy
#acl ldap proxy_auth REQUIRED
external_acl_type ldap_group %LOGIN /usr/lib64/squid/squid_ldap_group -H ldap://127.0.0.1 -v 3 -b ou=groups,dc=drv,dc=drv -f (&(memberuid=%u)(cn=%g)) -D uid=digestreader,dc=drv,dc=drv -w digestpw -dacl ldap_download
external ldap_group downloadacl ldap_browse
external ldap_group browse
cache_peer 10.10.1.254 parent 9986 0 no-query no-digest name=download.proxy
cache_peer_access download.proxy deny !ldap_download
cache_peer 10.10.1.254 parent 9985 0 no-query no-digest name=browse.proxy
cache_peer_access browse.proxy allow ldap_browse
http_access allow ldap_download
http_access allow ldap_browse
And voila, not only ldap group check worked, but it also still needed authentication first! I don't know if its a bug, or intended ... but if you use "acl ldap proxy_auth REQUIRED" there will be no other requestto an external helper again ... without it it works as desired. In my eyes maybe its a feature to also authenticate if i use external_helper,but it should also work with this acl. Perhaps someone could explain the ideas behind this.

> While this is repeated endlessly i straced the helper Process ... nothing! I also wrote a dummy Helper, also nothing.Tcpdump on localhost i see the packets from digest_ldap_auth to ldap. Squids talking to digest_ldap_auth over Unix Pipe, that works, and form digest_ldap_auth to ldap over 127.0.0.1 works to,but not from Squid to the Helper although there is an TCP Connection:
> squid 1858 squid 8u IPv6 47834 0t0 UDP *:54597
> squid 1858 squid 14u IPv6 47840 0t0 TCP [::1]:38965->[::1]:45367 (ESTABLISHED)
> squid 1858 squid 15u IPv6 47842 0t0 TCP *:d-s-n (LISTEN)
> test.sh 10617 squid 0u IPv6 47841 0t0 TCP [::1]:45367->[::1]:38965 (ESTABLISHED)
> test.sh 10617 squid 1u IPv6 47841 0t0 TCP [::1]:45367->[::1]:38965 (ESTABLISHED)

> What i tried so far:
> - the squid_ldap_group works on the shell, piping Username & Group result in OK/ERR depending on the ldap group membership
> - no activity in strace on squid_ldap_group, but on digest_ldap_auth
> - no Packets seen with tcpdump on localhost, except from digest_ldap_auth
> - tried many different options of external_acl_type ...
> - no iptables active & SELinux Permissive
> Probably it's a really simple solution, like an internal acl not allowing network access to localhost, but i can't see it and its driving me nuts !!!!
