Yes, that was the problem. The apache was configured to speak https on 
port 45600. So I changed my backend definition acordingly, and things 
worked!

Not directly related, but just for the record:
The site contains a login, which needed a
proxy_set_header Host $host;
in the location section with the proxy_pass in order to work.

Yes, there is a loadbalancer, which did the port changing bevore the 
request came to apache.
