Emmanuel, your RT_SiteConfig is a complete mess. You need to remove ALL 
your LDAP related settings and start again from scratch using the 
information here:

http://wiki.bestpractical.com/view/ExternalAuth

To start with, you do not specify the hostname of your AD server in 
ExternalAuthPriority. ExternalAuthPriority simply defines which config 
sets to use from the ExternalSettings directive. If you only have one AD 
server, you should only have one entry in ExternalAuthPriority and it 
should be a name you choose for your AD server and it should match the 
name of a config set in ExternalSettings.

Also, authentication will always fall back to RT. Any user in RT's 
internal database will always be checked if they are not authenticated 
out of AD.

Let us know when you've fixed it up a bit.
