    This is the second of a series of three papers the goal of which is to extend, to the context of an arbitrary symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra, previous results of the second author. The first paper of the series is [Sel. Math., New Ser. 25, No. 3, Paper No. 44, 97 p. (2019; Zbl 1441.17013)], where the notion of a \textit{braided Coxeter category} is introduced. Let \(\mathfrak g\) be a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra. In this paper the authors show that the category \(\mathcal O^{\mathrm{int}}\mathfrak g\) of integrable highest weight representations of \(\mathfrak g\) possesses, up to unique equivalence, a unique structure of a braided Coxeter category with prescribed restriction functors, \(R\)-matrices and local monodromies. This rigidity result is used by the authors in their paper [``Monodromy of the Casimir connection of a symmetrisable Kac-Moody algebra'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1512.03041}] to describe the monodromy of the rational Casimir connection of \(\mathfrak g\) in terms of the quantum Weyl group operators of the corresponding quantum group \(U_\hbar \mathfrak g\). The proof of the main result is obtained from a cohomological rigidity result that relies on a refinement of the universal algebras introduced by \textit{B. Enriquez} in [Adv. Math. 164, No. 1, 1--23 (2001; Zbl 0994.17008)].
