Thank you for explaining your business case.
It enables investigation of less obvious solutions.

Is it possible to configure client browsers to use a proxy to connect
the sensitive servers?  Maybe you could use proxy authentication
instead of TLS authentication or web application.

What about using a VPN for the sensitive servers?

Unfortunately SSL/TLS was never designed for interactive authentication.

Why exactly you cannot use client certificates?
Maybe there is something I can do about it.

Right. My first guess would be chaining:
- - apache2
- - mod_proxy
- - mod_authnz_external
- - pwauth
- - libpam-google-authenticator

Indeed.

Best regards,
