Accessing an NTLM-protected site via a proxy won't work. NTLM is broken
beyond repair, and this is one of the effects.

Not really. If you access the NTLM-protected site directly, whether or not
authentication is requested depends on the zone security settings in
MS Internet Exporer (and of course what zone the server is in).

Always the same: domain\user

A proxy autoconfiguration file.
