Both seem to mean with the support or protection of. Are they interchangeable? Mostly interchangeable? Is there a difference in connotation?

For the most part these are synonyms, although I think auspices carries less a connotation of protection and more of patronage or sponsorship, while aegis has the opposite feeling. WikiDiff and similar sites are a good resource for exploring this sort of subtlety.
