I'm uncertain on which MSK you're referencing.

The TLS tunnel is established between the supplicant and the
authentication radius server (not the proxy), so the radius shared
secret is not known to both parties. The radius response (AccessAccept /
AccessReject) itself is protected by a MD5 hash (Response Authenticator)
over the reply content, the request authenticator and the radius shared
secret.
