The above try_files directive would return only the files & directories
that are present withing the document_root. Any other request would meet
a 404 error. The requests do not seem to reach the proxy_pass.

If all requests are to be served by the proxy_pass, I suggest
commenting/removing the try_files directive. E.g.

  location / {

    auth_basic "restricted content";
    auth_basic_user_file "/home/secure/.passwords";
    auth_request_set $auth_status $upstream_status;

    proxy_pass http://127.0.01:$rp_port;
  }
