I have posted two versions, one vague and one very specific (just in case the shorter version doesn't work)
SHORT SOLUTION
-Listen to the full dialogue between Malkus and Dexion.
-Kill Malkus, do not loot.
-DO NOT kill the other vampire. (If you have any followers, it would be wise to have them wait down the steps or something - to refrain from attacking the other vampire)
-Leave Forbears' Holdout
-Wait for 24 (in-game...) hours
-Re-enter Forbears' Holdout
-Dexion should be outside of the magical barrier, having killed the other vampire for you.
-Loot Malkus (for the Weystone Focus)
-DO NOT de-activate the magical barrier
-Speak to Dexion and all should be well.
-Leave the Holdout and the quest marker to deactivate the magical barrier will be gone after he reads the elder scroll.
DETAILED SOLUTION (If simple solutions fails)
-Leaving Dawnguard, I did NOT have Serana follow me.
-I entered the holdout and cleared my way up to the stairs where Dexion is being held.
-I have a mod follower, whom I told to wait before going up the stairs to the magical barrier. (to keep from attacking anyone)
-I snuck up the stairs (leading to the magical barrier) without being seen and listened to the full dialogue between Malkus and Dexion.
-Without being noticed, I killed Malkus with my bow and DID NOT kill the other vampire there.
-I did not loot Malkus.
-I left the holdout (while sneaking so the other vampire did not see me) and, from right outside, I waited 24 (in-game...) hours.
-I went back in to find Dexion OUTSIDE of the magical barrier and he had killed the other vampire.
-I looted the Weystone Focus from Malkus but DID NOT use it to remove the barrier.
-I was able to walk up to Dexion and speak to him safely.
-The quest marker to remove the magical barrier was removed after Dexion read the Elder Scroll.
If there are any questions, let me know.
