No. What happens is that the browser connects to the SME server, then negotiates SSL (verifies the certificate and starts encrypting the connection), then sends the request (hostname + URL). Apache in the SME server then proxies the connection (creates the connection to the internal webserver, passes the request, passes back the response). There's no way that the internal server's certificate can be presented to the browser and used to enable encryption.
