First things first.  When you run this on the command line, what exactly do you get?

ntlm_auth --request-nt-key \
	--username=001E52805980 \
	--domain=MY.ACTUAL.DOMAIN \
	--challenge=86acd2fc97136970 \
	--nt-response=bc25975c513bb7dc3b2b1068d2ac048fe46e52a840f4f662

(You may need to run FreeRADIUS in debug mode, observe another failure, and then copy the challenge and response values from that *recent* failure in there for this to work.  I don't know what the lifetime is on those values.  Using the ones from hours ago may not work.)

Second question is, is "request-nt-key" appropriate in this case?  I only ask because I've only ever used ntlm_auth to authenticate Windows hosts directly.  In this case, the wireless controller is doing the authentication, and the wireless controller is not a Windows box.  Sure, it's using a set of credentials in AD, but that's not exactly the same.  The *Windows* box is not doing the authentication.  The *controller* is.
