If you are using imp to auth to an existing imap server than follow the 
same rules you would use if configuring an imap client.
in horde/config/conf.php
$conf['auth']['params']['app'] = 'imp';
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'application';

then in imp/config/servers.php set the configs like a imap client
also make sure 'hordeauth' => false,'
