Uncheck the “Require SSL”– for the redirect to work, you have to accept the initial request on HTTP first.

EDIT

Second point. You’re selecting input based on HTTPS. You need to negate the condition like this:

<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll" trackAllCaptures="false">
    <add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" negate="true" />
</conditions>
