Please define "the headers required for the authentication".  If 
you think some headers are not passed, it would be good idea to 
look into what happens on the wire to be specific.  Debug log 
should be enough to see detailed info about headers send/received, 
see here:

http://nginx.org/en/docs/debugging_log.html

Altrenatively, you can use tcpdump to see what actually happens on 
the wire.

Note though, that Digest authentication can be easily screwed up 
by URI changes.  Your configuration suggests that you are trying 
to change some URIs.  Make sure you aren't testing with these URIs 
you are trying to change.  Or, better yet, try with just 
proxy_pass and nothing more, as initially suggested.
