libapache2-mod-proxy-html was a transitional package for apache2-bin.

Since the translation is completed it should be already included in the apache2-bin Xenial package. In fact you can find the mod_proxy_html.so file in the apache2-bin file list (Xenial).

My guess is that the command

a2enmod proxy_html

should solve the issue.

As a final note: you should probably post the question on askubuntu.
