I'm not aware of anything out-of-the-box but I do know of one that's close (but haven't used it). I also know that curl supports NTLM so if that's used as the basis of a plugin, you're a good way there. This PHP based plugin appears to have the features of check_http you need, but without the NTLM auth --

Since it's PHP and PHP Curl is pretty well documented, I think that it wouldn't be too difficult to add in the authentication bit (two lines in the curl_setopt() section I believe, if hard-coded). The two options I think you'd need are --

http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

CURLOPT_USERPWD 'username:password'
CURLOPT_HTTPAUTH 'CURLAUTH_NTLM'

It may be more complicated than that but it's where I'd start if I were doing it.
