nginx processes a request by choosing a location. The new location does not contain the necessary code to execute PHP. You should add a nested location block to process PHP within the /auth/ directory.

location ^~ /auth/ {
    try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
    auth_basic "Auth";
    auth_basic_user_file /etc/nginx/.htpasswd;

    location ~ \.php$ {
        include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
        fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
    }
}
...
location ~ \.php$ { ... }
