Firstly the popup does not mean Basic. It only means the browser is
not able to automatically find any credentials that work.

If it is "saving" the NTLM credentials in password manager it means
those are the credentials which eventually worked after the user input.

The way auth is supposed to work is that the browser tries the most
secure method it is offered then falls back to ever less secure methods.

So what *should* be happening is the following. The first one to
succeed is used:

 1. automatic attempt to use Negotiate/Kerberos
 2. automatic attempt to use Negotiate/NTLM
 3. automatic attempt to use NTLM
 4. automatic attempt to use Basic
 5. popup request for Negotiate/Kerberos credentials
 6. popup request for Negotiate/NTLM credentials
 7. popup request for NTLM credentials
       --> the one you say is working.
 8. popup request for Basic credentials
 9. display error page sent in last received 401/407/403 message.

* The password manager or system API lacking any of the credentials
may skip the HTTP transaction part of 'automatic' steps.
* User clicking cancel may skip the HTTP part of the popup steps.
* 403 response skips from any point to step 9.

You can test this a bit better by placing some strange text in the
Basic auth "Realm" parameter. Only if that text appears in the popup
box is Basic auth being requested.

debug_options 11,2 can be used to get a trace of teh HTTP traffic.
Which can be used to see the auth types being attempted by the client.

Also, the helpers should all provide -d parameter to print debug info
about their actions.
