Rewrite directives are executed during rewrite phase, while
authorization - during access phase which happens later. So the
only solution is to change logic, i.e. to something like this:

location / {
auth_basic ...
root /path/to/nowhere;
error_page 404 = @redirect;
}

location @redirect {
rewrite ^(.*)$ http://app.dns.com:7004$1 permanent;
}

p.s. I see a little sense in this config though, as it only
protects domain name of a real server... and it will eventually
became public anyway. So real protection should be on real
server.
