The default varnish config doesn't cache when Authentication is
required. But since you redefined the vcl_recv, it isn't using the
default rules.

Commented out, are the lines that do this:

#     if (req.http.Authorization || req.http.Cookie) {
#         /* Not cacheable by default */
#         return (pass);
#     }
