I figured this out.

I was googling trying to figure it out too. But it finally dawned on me. Hardly matters where you are. If a character is talking to you mid-sentence and you interrupt by going through a door (entering or exiting a building) they will follow you. Same thing has to happen here. I couldnt find anything else that worked to get Derkeethus out of there. But this WORKED.

Of course you have to baby step him to the door, but click and talk to him so that he is saying something and becore he finishes, leave the cave. He should, indeed, follow.
