I can't reproduce this. This is the exact same setup I am using  
(Application auth using IMP).  The error message returned by the  
authentication driver says that the connection to the mail server has  
failed. The only place that this error string is returned in Horde  
code is in the code that attempts the connection to the IMAP server,  
long before authentication is tried. In other words, this is a  
*connection* error, not an authentication error so you will need to  
figure out why the imap client code cannot connect to the imap server.  
You can start by enabling IMAP debug logging in imp/config/backends.php.
