Marc,

Have you tried manually adding the configuration line after the last 
line in conf.php?  I have  all my variables that are dependent on 
apache, etc. there.   Something like:

/* CONFIG END. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING IN OR BEFORE THIS LINE. */
  $conf['mailer']['params']['host'] = 'mail.' . \
  preg_replace('|^webmail\.|i', '', $_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]);

I do this to keep my virtual domains as independent as possible with a 
single instance of horde.  I hope this works for you.
