One possible solution is to use insulated ducting:

I believe it is mandatory on new installations under part L. The above company are quite good for having a comprehensive stock of various ducting and their helpline is particularly good at helping you get the right stuff, the bloke I spoke to was very good even though I was only spending approx. £60 with them. Alternatively if your duct is running along the top of the joists just feed your existing insulation over the top of it. I am not sure if it will entirely solve the condensation issue but will surely limit it.

I got this not in extractor fan ducting but in foul stack venting.
The pipe ran horizontal and exited under the eaves high up.
It sagged, watre bollected at a low point and te joint wasnt very
hood...and water ended up dripping down a wall below.
All my vents now slope down towards the outside
