Depending on your configuration, the rewrite endpoint might be either 
/rpc.php or /rpc/ but you are trying to forward a rewrite from the 
domain root.
This is possible in the composer-based version of Horde, currently only 
available through maintaina. It contains a new config switch to relocate 
the rewrite base.

I will need to document such a use case though.

Meanwhile, I suggest you don't rewrite the URL Base that way but instead 
point thunderbird to dav.test.de/rpc.php/ which should just work without 
further issues.
For Apple devices, it might be required to configure a "well known" dns 
entry.
