I tried

RewriteRule ^/plone(.*) http://127.0.0.1:9673/VirtualHostBase/https/%{HTTP_HOST}:443/dulci/VirtualHostRoot/_vh_plone$1 [L,P]

This does not make any difference. Does this line, and the rest of the 
config stuff otherwise look Ok?

Any idea what I might be looking for in the configuration? I'm mostly 
using the Debian defaults.

Do I correctly understand that this rule will encrypt traffic sent to the 
Zope instance, and coming out? That is the intention.

Thanks in advance.
