The complete answer to your question is large/complicated and 
Squid-version dependent, but, AFAICT, there are no conflicts in the 
simple CONNECT request you have shared. Either the Squid in question is 
buggy or something else is going on (that is not visible in the output 
you have shared).

Are you absolutely sure the CONNECT request looks exactly like the one 
you have copy-pasted? How do you observe that CONNECT request?

Can you reproduce this exact problem using, say, "nc" or "telnet" as a 
proxy client (no TLS)?

Normally, proxies that accept CONNECT requests do not listen on or 
intercept port 80. Normally, CONNECT requests do not target port 80 
either. Are you sure you are supposed to send a CONNECT request to port 
80 and target an origin server port 80?


What do the WiFi providers tell you when you complain to _them_? Can 
they get you in touch with the technical people responsible for their 
Squids?
