You shouldn't be using the https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone in your build but https://repo.spring.io/milestone instead.

See also this announcement explaining that only /milestones and /snapshots will be anonymously available. All others are closed for internal use and all other dependencies should be resolved through Maven Central.

When selecting a milestone version like Spring Boot 3.1.0-M2, Spring Initializr will add the Spring milestone repository to the build, with configuration like this in pom.xml:

    <repository>
      <id>spring-milestones</id>
      <name>Spring Milestones</name>
      <url>https://repo.spring.io/milestone</url>
      <snapshots>
        <enabled>false</enabled>
      </snapshots>
    </repository>

It appears you have that in your pom.xml based on this line in the output:

Downloading from spring-milestones: https://repo.spring.io/milestone/...

You also have this line in your output, which appears to be something that was added to the pom.xml after it was generated by Spring Initializr:

Downloading from spring-libs-snapshot: https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone/...

As @mdeinum said, the https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone can not be accessed without authentication, as it is not intended to be used externally. That's why you're getting the error authentication failed for https://repo.spring.io/libs-milestone....
