Exchange 2013 Client Proxy

Is there a way to disable the HTTP proxy for those who are connecting internally and only use it for those who are not part of the internal AD?
i.e.  internal desktops connect not using the proxy, however laptops or remote locations that are not tied into the forest connect via the proxy (setup using autodiscover).

This is the default behavior for outlook, to connect rpc on fast networks and https/rpc on slow networks... you can check/ modify these setting from outlook profile like in attached.

Also you can check the stats of the current connection whether it uses http ot TCP (rpc) by holding CTRL and right click on outlook icon in system try (beside clock icon).

Hmm well I guess a better question would be how to fix it so that the users stop getting the cannot connect to proxy error when they start up outlook.  
The proxy shows up as mail.domain.local.  Think A selfsigned cert would suffice?
IT is better to know the root cause so you can resolve the issues permanently...

Please check the connection status by the method mentioned above. how does client trying to connect ? http or tcp ?
in exchange 2013 does not use MAPI anymore, all clients connect using outlook anywhere from both inside and outside

Would I need to change the server name itself (computer name) to mail.domain.org or just leave that as mail.domain.local and set the name via the ECP?
Sorry for the slow response, had 40 things hit me at once for some projects I am working on.

Sorry sorry sorry for the late response!  I am the only IT person for 315 users and almost 450 devices across 9 counties and they have been running me ragged.  

By split DNS, I assume you mean having mail.domain.org on the external DNS and on the internal have a CNAME for mail.domain.org -> mail.domain.local?  or just an A record for mail.domain.org to go to the IP of mail.domain.local?
The second option.
