Try disabling Just My Code (JMC).

Tools -> Options -> Debugger
Uncheck "Enable Just my Code"
By default the debugger tries to restrict the view of the world 
to code that is only contained within your solution. This is 
really heplful at times but when you want to debug code which is 
not in your solution (as is your situation) you need to disable 
JMC in order to see it. Otherwise the code will be treated as 
external and largely hidden from your view.

EDIT

When you're broken in your code try the following.

Debug -> Windows -> Modules
Find the DLL for the project you are interested in
Right Click -> Load Symbols -> Select the Path to the .PDB for 
your other project
