This is not an Asterisk requirement, it's a SIP RFC compliance
requirement. The random value (nonce) that is sent as part of the
initial 407 response is specific to that Call-ID, as the RFC mandates.
If Asterisk receives an INVITE for a different Call-ID, it will generate
a new nonce, thus ignoring the authentication info including in the INVITE.

In other words: your SBC is broken.
