I have a file backends.local.php which contains
<?php
$servers['imap']['disabled'] = true;
$servers['advanced']['disabled'] = false;
$servers['advanced']['hordeauth'] = true;
$servers['advanced']['name'] = 'example.com';
$servers['advanced']['hostspec'] = '192.168.100.136';
$servers['advanced']['protocol'] = 'imap';
$servers['advanced']['port'] = 143;
$servers['advanced']['maildomain'] = 'example.com';
$servers['advanced']['smtp']['auth'] = true;
$servers['advanced']['smtp']['host'] = 'example.com';
$servers['advanced']['smtp']['username'] = null;
$servers['advanced']['smtp']['password'] = null;
$servers['advanced']['smtp']['port'] = 25;

I've tried several variations of configuration and it doesn't work at all.
But mail server is for sure ok. My Horde and IMP configs are here
