If you actually want intuitionistic logic, you cannot get away with using
just -> and -. as your basis. You have to add in /\ and \/ , but once you
have that, you can just use dfbi1 as the definition (and df-bi is really
just an obfuscated version of dfbi2 anyway, once you unfold the definition
of /\ ).

Regarding provability of bijust, it is intuitionistically provable with the
standard intuitionistic interpretations of -> and -. . It is an instance of
-. ((p -> p) -> -. (p -> p)), which is true because |- p -> p is provable,
and so from ((p -> p) -> -. (p -> p)) you can conclude -. (p -> p) and from
there, falsity, so -. ((p -> p) -> -. (p -> p)).
