As with many of these quests with roleplay segments, it's imperative that you do not do it while in a group. Either the roleplay won't play for everyone, or players will get stuck in separate phases and some cannot continue.
My wife and I did it together, killed Exhaurbius and the roleplay started for me but not her. She had to abandon the quest, leave the group, and try everything again (which was about the fourth thing we tried) because she couldn't get credit for the quest objectives. We've had this problem with multiple quests throughout the expansion so far; especially in the campaign.

If you die during this part of the campaign event you will NOT be able to loot your corpse for stygia. I lost 6k stygia finding this out. :(
If you die here and you're unable to turn in the quest, go back to Oribos and then zone back into The Maw. You should then be able to turn it in.
