Don't modify imp/config/backends.php. Ever. See the comments in the header.

Don't override arrays, only the values of individual elements:

<?php
$servers['advanced']['disabled'] = false;
$servers['advanced']['hordeauth'] = true;
$servers['advanced']['smtp']['debug']  = '/tmp/smtp.log';
$servers['advanced']['smtp']['host'] = 'mail.physik.uni-muenchen.de';

should be sufficient (and works for me).

  As far as I know, the horde_auth parameter is no longer used. I use  
the above configuration without overriding *any* 'smtp' value.
