Messages you are seeing suggests that you've failed to provide 
proper trusted certificates via proxy_ssl_trusted_certificate and 
ssl_client_certificate files.

An example configuration which demonstrates how to configure 
mutual authentication using a self-signed certificate:

    server {
        listen 8080;

        location / {
            proxy_pass https://127.0.0.1:8443/empty;

            proxy_ssl_verify on;
            proxy_ssl_trusted_certificate test.crt;
            proxy_ssl_name "test.example.com";

            proxy_ssl_certificate test.crt;
            proxy_ssl_certificate_key test.key;
        }
    }

    server {
        listen 8443 ssl;

        ssl_certificate test.crt;
        ssl_certificate_key test.key;

        ssl_verify_client on;
        ssl_client_certificate test.crt;

        location / {
            return 204;
        }
    }
