You need to configure MapProxy to request images from MapServer with mode=24 and not OpenLayers.

For example:

sources:
  mywms:
    type: wms
    req:
      format: image/png; mode=24bit
      ...

MapProxy will then always request MapServer with that format.

Ah, that's a bug. The code that returns standard WMS exceptions for unknown formats did not check for any image options (like mode) and the code fails then later.

It's now fixed in trunk. Thanks for reporting.
