When I found that the provider could be specified inside the RequireXYZ tags I expected the config above to do the trick but it seems not.

It is not intended to work this way.  But there is hope since LDAP
authn leaves a paper trail.

You may be able to detect if LDAP has done the authentication by
reading the AUTHENTICATE_ variables described by mod_authnz_ldap in a
"Require expr" or "Require [not] env" wrapped in RequireAll to
implement your two cases.
