I was in a game where I was the coalition leader with another country, facing against another coalition whose war goal was to conquer one of my allies' provinces (which they did).
How do I force my ally to cede the province and end the war?
It seems I can only offer tribute from my own country (give my ducets, cancel my treaties, etc.) but can make no demands for my allies.
I also couldn't find a way to leave the coalition, which meant that there was no way for me to lose the war, as I couldn't offer anything the enemy coalition wanted.

It sounds like your coalition partners opted out of allowing the coalition leader to negotiate for them. Which would result in what you describe. Not being able to cede fellow coalition members provinces etc.
This bit me when I did the opposite and forgot to untick the 'leader can negotiate for us' tick box. I got pulled into a war by Scotland when I was Ireland and Scotland ceded Meath to England in a peace deal before I could get my armies in a position to help.
The following is a fairly good description of coalition mechanics when at war.
