I could solve the problem in the following steps:

I connected to my server over SSH and edited manually the horde config 
file: /srv/www/htdocs/horde/vendor/horde/horde/config/conf.php

I temporarily changed horde auth driver to HTTP Basic Authentication:

$conf['auth']['admins'] = array('admin');
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'http';
$conf['auth']['params']['htpasswd_file'] = '/srv/www/.authpw';
$conf['auth']['params']['encryption'] = 'plain';

Now I was able to log in. After having saved the configuration of imp I 
logged out. Now I changed back the auth config to

$conf['auth']['params']['app'] = 'imp';
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'application';

/srv/www/htdocs/horde/vendor/horde/imp/config/backends.local.conf seems 
no longer necessary.
