THis is one possibility. Otherwise you could say,

"submissively, but still appearing like a broken man"

Here is a rather extreme use of these two terms together. I would say that the nuance and contrast remains the same across langauges:

The broadcast only showed the execution to the point where the noose was placed over Hussein's head and tightened around his neck. No audio was heard.

Rubaie, who witnessed the execution, said the former leader was "strangely submissive" to the process.

"He was a broken man," he said. "He was afraid. You could see fear in his face." "

"Likewise, by using the term "noncompliant", we reinforce the conception of a SUBMISSIVE patient, who is to follow treatment directives, and if he or she fails to do so, it is he or she, as an individual, who is to blame."

"The shift from compliance to adherence, accompanies the change of paradigm that western medicine has witnessed. The old therapeutic setting, in which an omniscient doctor indoctrinated A SUBMISSIVE PATIENT, has evolved into a much more complex and interesting situation"
