It's not clear what is the problem you are complaining about.

1. PHP files in clear text? You don't have any processing for php
defined in location /site/private. Default behaviour is to serve
anything as static. So php files being served as static is
expected result of your config.

2. No HTTP authentication box? It should appear only once per
browser start (or may not appear at all if you're brave enough to
save your password in browser). Check data of the wire or nginx
logs (access log should be enough) to see if authentication really
happens.
