The easy fix is require your system to require username at domain.tld as a
username :)

I didn't answer on the imp list because a) it's the weekend and b) I can't
really suggest the fix.

But... configuring dovecot to add the domain.tld without doing the same in
horde means two issues.

1. You will create two users in horde

2. Your actual problem is that when you log in without the domain and
dovecot knows to add a domain for authentication, horde doesn't know for
SMTP..
