So here is my situation:
I have an Exchange 2007 (my main Server ) and i have recently added a new Exchange 2013 in the same forest with a plan to move my users there slowly while in co-existence. What i have done is i have installed the exchange on a new Server 2012 R2 and i now have Mailbox databases , one for the old exchange and one for the new. I can access exchange 2013 ECP , OWA and everything works fine . My dns have not been switched to the 2013 but i have created records separately for it .
My issue seems to be with outlook anywhere . When configuring users on 2007 exchange everything works fine internally , it auto detects settings and for outside lan connections i enable http access . Now for the mailboxes on 2013 database i have some issues. While it auto detects the settings auto discover sets authentication method to anonymous resulting in popping up for password all the time (even though mailbox is actually connected and can send and receive) .
My outlook anywhere settings for both servers are :

I have bolded my auth methods for both servers. Please note that i have tried several combinations of auth methods for Exchange 2013 such as Internal ntlm , External basic , IIs All 3 but still same issue . I haven't touched Exchange 2007 settings as most of
my users are still there and i don't want to mess it up. Can anyone please help on what might be the issue and why is auto discover setting anonymous authentication on outlook ?
I have also checked "Test Email Autoconfiguration" on Outlook and i have noticed that on EXchange RPC protocol i get Auth Package : Anonymous while on Exchange HTTP its Negotiate meaning it gets the one i set in outlook anywhere config .
