I'm not sure what your system design is, but it sounds like it may not
match the nginx auth_request design.

If your application does its own authentication, then you possibly do
not need nginx auth_request at all.

Do things work for you if the nginx side is just "proxy_pass"?

And, out of interest, which nginx auth_request user guide did you use
for inspiration? It may be that that document can be improved for the
next person.
