How can I set up web access via PROXY PORT only?

After a year, I've decided to try Sophos XG again. Currently using UTM 9.5 - which has its issues, but works well.

I am trying to find out how to force all web requests through the proxy port.
Sadly, I'm not getting far with Sophos XG.

If I add a firewall rule allowing HTTP and HTTPS traffic, this works without having to go through the proxy port. This is not what I want, I want users to have to use the proxy on port 3128. From there, I can assign policies and rules, depending on which user group they are in. If they try and go through the firewall directly, I want their requests either blocked or (best case) a message explaining that they are not authenticated so they may not browse the web.

User authentication will be done by active directory SSO and I intend to set the proxy via a WPAD file.
This was really easy to do with UTM 9.5, but I'm constantly hitting brick walls with Sophos XG.

Here's what I've done so far...

  • Joined XG firewall to domain. AD server appears in authentication > servers
  • Imported desired AD groups into the XG firewall. These groups appear in authentication > groups
  • Set NTLM authentication enabled on the LAN zone
  • Configured my AD server as highest priority in firewall authentication methods
  • Added a firewall rule allowing HTTP and HTTPS to a certain group
  • Added a firewall rule (BOTTOM) denying all access without user identity

Have I missed anything? Can anybody help?

Thanks
