I could not find any solution for chrome. We can not add extensions with headless option. I am using Heroku with chrome-buildpack. There are following options

1. Use xvfb instead of headless options and install extension
2. Use local proxy forwarder that forwards traffic to authenticated proxy; we can use Squid, mitProxy, or something like proxy-login-automator

Instead of these workaround I switched to Firefox where i was able to fill Username and Password on Proxy authentication Pop-up. Like given below. Following code is for Ruby using Capybara. You should be able to do something like this on your platform

page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.send_keys('proxy-username' + Selenium::WebDriver::Keys::KEYS[:tab] + 'my-password')
page.driver.browser.switch_to.alert.accept
