Does your intermediate switch support MACSEC?  If yes, then 'theoritcally' this should work but may need some tweaking to get settings properly done.  If not, and device is indeed a switch, then answer is most likely will not work,ever.  MACSEC is a point-to-point protocol and is not designed to support pass-through where MAC headers would change.  I would fully expect the MACSEC link to not even come up - key exchange will fail.

 

Now if your intermediate device acted like a 'hub' then it might work.  Likewise, IPSEC, would also not work in such a configuration, without IPSEC support at intermediate SW.

 

Good luck.
