Directive gzip_proxied isn't relevant here. It only relevant if
request was got from proxy server (determined based on Via header
presense in request).

No. This directive doesn't pass Accept-Encoding header to
upstream, but it has nothing to do with original request headers.

The reason why gzip filter doesn't work is quite simple: it isn't
configured to do so.

Key things that should be configured in this case are:

gzip on;
gzip_types text/xml;

Note well: when testing with console downloaders it is quite
possible that they use HTTP/1.0. In this case one also required
to set

gzip_http_version 1.0;

but it's not generally good idea to do so in production as modern
browsers use HTTP/1.1, while HTTP/1.0 clients may handle gzip
incorrectly (and that's why gzip is disabled for HTTP/1.0 clients
by default).
