That's basically what Horde+IMP is.

IMAP functionality has no provision for sending mail. PHP does have a
mail function, but it has nothing to do with IMAP.

That is the way IMAP and IMP work.

That is how IMAP works.

Basically all IMAP setups store all the email data in the IMAP database,
the preferences in a sql/ldap/etc database, and use some mailer or smtp
to send mail. With the exception of your not wanting to use smtp/sendmail,
your request is basically the definition of IMP.

Well, welcome to IMP. But your conception of sending mail seems wrong,
and you need to decide how you want to handle that within the contraints
of imap.
