This setting merely adds the "basic auth" security definition to the generated Swagger JSON. As far as I know the current swagger-ui does not do anything additional with this information - although I believe full UI support may be in the pipeline - swagger-api/swagger-ui#764.

For now, you can add a simple customization to your swagger-ui "index.html" as described here - swagger-api/swagger-ui#1171. I just tried it out and verified it works.

For this type of customization, you'll need to inject your own version of "index.html" instead of the version embedded in Swashbuckle (see readme https://github.com/domaindrivendev/Swashbuckle#provide-your-own-index-file).

Finally, it's worth bearing in mind that first and foremost, Swashbuckle is a Swagger JSON generator. It does include an embedded swagger-ui for convenience and I'll endeavor to keep this up-to-date so SB users can avail of the latest UI enhancements. Other than that however, I would suggest checking out that repo for UI issues and upcoming features.
