You are not too far of the solution. You can also use:

 xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto --right-of LVDS1

The fact that you see the mouse on the new screen seems to tell that X11
is correctly configured. However, for some reason, awesome is unable to
detect the second screen.

What do you get with this?
 echo 'return screen.count()' | awesome-client
