For OSM and similar maps, the map.projection has to be

projection: new OpenLayers.Projection("EPSG:900913"),

or EPSG:3857 if you prefer.

Just changing the code number to 4326 does not reproject the tiles automatically, but places them into a wrong part of the world. Since Opnelayers can not perform the reprojection on its own, you have to follow the hints given at OpenLayers doesn't show an overlay with a different SRS than the base layerOpenLayers doesn't show an overlay with a different SRS than the base layer
