Sep 20, 2016 at 9:39 comment added Jules Lamers You might want to take a look at the book Non-Perturbative Methods in 2 Dimensional Quantum Field Theory by Abdalla, Abdalla and Rothe. That should be selfcontained and certainly discusses exact S-matrices and 2d QED, so the answer to your questions might be in there.

Sep 19, 2016 at 13:29 comment added Carlo Beenakker for the scattering matrix in the massive Schwinger model see this article
Sep 19, 2016 at 13:20 comment added asv @CarloBeenakker: I am not well familiar with the Schwinger model, but my impression was that in this model fermions are massless. I did not assume that in my question. I believe this assumption may lead to some extra divergences in the S-matrix.
Sep 19, 2016 at 13:11 comment added Carlo Beenakker if I am not mistaken in 2D QED (Schwinger model) there are only confined fermions; how might we then even define a scattering matrix, when there are no asymptotically free states at infinity?
