I have a working setup, although it has merely been used for testing.

Have you been over this page your searches? When I found it, everything
was fine using Opera and Netscape as browser, but not Internet Explorer.
This was puzzling.

One problem may be that IIS tries "Integrated Windows Authentication"
with the clients? This apparently fails through the Apache proxy.
In my case, it helped to switch off this option on the directory tab of
the properties for the exchange nodes of the IIS services manager.

Another problem may be https vs. http. I have added the module
"mod_proxy_add_forward" to my build of Apache, after adding the
following line to the function "add_forward_header" in the module. This
instructs IIS to use https rather than http.

        ap_table_set(r->headers_in, "Front-End-HTTPS", "On");


I have a setup slightly different from yours, as I use mod_rewrite to
avoid running with "ProxyRequests on".

ProxyRequests off
RewriteEngine on
ProxyVia Full
RewriteRule ^/(exchange.*) http://exchange.domain.com/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/(exchweb.*) http://exchange.domain.com/$1 [P]
RewriteRule ^/(public/.*) http://exchange.domain.com/$1 [P]
