What makes you think that "HTTPS proxy" is an incorrect term? That is
the term I have seen used the most, and that is the term I would use.
That is also the term that allows to locate relevant documents by googling.

Any supporting references? Neither Google nor I remember that term, and
the term itself seems inferior to "HTTPS proxy" -- the proxy in question
expects HTTP traffic underneath TLS so "HTTPS proxy" fits better IMHO.
