Hey, This is a common issue. Just remove mex from your bindings.

Do like this : 
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" name="mex" contract="IMetadataExchange"></endpoint>


You can also check the anonymous access to the website from IIS admin console. Also make sure that you denied the anonymous access in web.config of your application.

I hope this will help you.

Can you check the endpoint address as basic as follows.

The following configuration works for me: 

<system.serviceModel>

    <services>

        <service name="WcfTestService.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="WcfTestService.Service1Behavior">

            <endpoint address="ws" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WcfTestService.IService1" bindingConfiguration="wsBindingConfig"/>

              <endpoint address="basic" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="WcfTestService.IService1" bindingConfiguration="bindingConfig"/>

        </service>

    </services>

    <bindings>

        <basicHttpBinding>

            <binding name="bindingConfig">

                <security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">

                    <transport clientCredentialType="Windows"/>

                </security>

            </binding>

        </basicHttpBinding>

        <wsHttpBinding>

            <binding name="wsBindingConfig">

                <security mode="Transport">

                    <transport clientCredentialType="Windows"/>

                </security>

            </binding>

        </wsHttpBinding>

    </bindings>

    <behaviors>

        <serviceBehaviors>

            <behavior name="WcfTestService.Service1Behavior">

                <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>

            </behavior>

        </serviceBehaviors>

    </behaviors>

</system.serviceModel>
