That depends if TLS connection in next hop is going to be established using identity impersonation.
If yes, then step (1) can't be performed because previous step did not provide delegated credentials.
(Or did it? Delegation is very tightly coupled here.)
If no, then credentials of service (or whatever is available) are used and step (1) is not necessary.
