For NTLM HTTP Authentication to work the client workstation must be joined
to a domain that is or has a trust relationship with the authoritative
domain. Otherwise what credentials would the client submit if the DC
it's ultimately communicating with knows nothing about that user?

You must set jcifs.smb.client.domain or jcifs.http.domainController to
a machine that is an authority for or has a trust relationship with the
domain in which the user accounts reside.

Also if the client workstations are not joined to a domain at all then
the authentication will not be transparent at all.
