I'm not sure I understand this. I serve .md files from my web servers
and they all render, but I had to configure the Markdown Viewer for
Chrome (actually I use Brave) to recognise the URIs, and that is very
hard to find the right combination of globs and REs.

See for example http://latex.silmaril.ie/packages/bookshelf/
and click on README.md

I don't think it's Apache that needs configuring, it's your plugin.
I don't recall having to make any changes to Apache, and it works off
the local copy on my desktop and laptop as well. You need to get the
plugin configures to recognise the URIs
