I have the same problem. After fresh installation I got the login-dialog with the LBL_MINT4_AUTH_LOGIN_TITLE and installation doesn’t start.
My configuration on Debian 12.4
Apache/2.4.57 (Debian)
PHP 8.0.30
loaded modules: core mod_so mod_watchdog http_core mod_log_config mod_logio mod_version mod_unixd mod_access_compat mod_alias mod_auth_basic mod_authn_core mod_authn_file mod_authz_core mod_authz_host mod_authz_user mod_autoindex mod_deflate mod_dir mod_env mod_filter mod_headers mod_mime prefork mod_negotiation mod_php mod_reqtimeout mod_rewrite mod_setenvif mod_status
My .htaccess looks like:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^api/(.*?)$ install/index.php [L]
RewriteRule ^assets/(.*?)$ assets/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^favicon.ico$ favicon.ico [L]
RewriteRule ^bg.jpg$ bg.jpg [L]

# The ServerName directive sets the request scheme, hostname and port that
# the server uses to identify itself. This is used when creating
# redirection URLs. In the context of virtual hosts, the ServerName
# specifies what hostname must appear in the request’s Host: header to
# match this virtual host. For the default virtual host (this file) this
# value is not decisive as it is used as a last resort host regardless.
# However, you must set it for any further virtual host explicitly.

# Available loglevels: trace8, …, trace1, debug, info, notice, warn,

# For most configuration files from conf-available/, which are
# enabled or disabled at a global level, it is possible to
# include a line for only one particular virtual host. For example the
# following line enables the CGI configuration for this host only
# after it has been globally disabled with “a2disconf”.
#Include conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
