Instead of NTLM one can use just plain old username and password on 4.3+ httpClient, as follows:

HttpHost proxy = new HttpHost("x.x.com",8080);
Credentials credentials = new UsernamePasswordCredentials("username","password");
AuthScope authScope = new AuthScope("x.x.com", 8080);
CredentialsProvider credsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credsProvider.setCredentials(authScope, credentials);
HttpClient client = HttpClientBuilder.create().setProxy(proxy).setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credsProvider).build();
HttpResponse response=client.execute(new HttpGet("http://stackoverflow.com/questions/6962047/apache-httpclient-4-1-proxy-authentication"));
