I am responding to myself... I managed to fix the problem with cntlm. It turns out that localhost is resolved first into ::1 and then in 127.0.01. Apt will not cope with the first error. Wget, on the other hand will just continue. I replaced localhost with 127.0.0.1 in /etc/cntlm.conf and now it seems to work also for apt. Next step try to ssh out via proxy...
