Use two server locations, one for http and the other one for https, like
this:

server
{
  listen 80;
  ...
  location /dir
  {
    rewrite ^/(.*) https://example.com/$1 permanent;
  }
}

server
{
  listen 443;
  ssl on;
  ...
  location /dir
  {
    auth_basic "Restricted Access";
    auth_basic_user_file htpasswd;
    ...
  }
}
