Some questions:

SIP proxies are not making authentication, the authentication is being
done only by B2BUA?
For granting access you don't care if the caller is authorized to make
the call, you only care if destination is valid?

And finally just a tip: You should return h323-ivr-in attribute to
Sippy b2bua inside Cisco-AVPair attribute. You need something like
this in users file
Cisco-AVPair = 'h323-ivr-in=Routing:12345 at 192.168.1.1;expires=30;Codecs:alaw,g.726'
