I am no expert but had trouble with certificates doing this, what helped 
me was using the imp/test.php page and doing a login via that, it tries 
all types and tells you what is successful. Then I set the horde type to 
be the same auth type:

/horde/conf.php
$conf['auth']['params']['hostspec'] = 'imap.mydomain.com';
$$conf['auth']['params']['port'] = 143;
$conf['auth']['params']['protocol'] = 'imap/notls';
$conf['auth']['params']['imapconfig'] = 'separate';
$conf['auth']['driver'] = 'imap';

/horde/imp/config/servers.php
$servers['imap'] = array(
     'name' => 'IMAP Server',
     'server' => 'imap.mydomain.com',
     'hordeauth' => true,
     'protocol' => 'imap/notls',
     'port' => '143',
     'folders' => 'Mail/',
     'namespace' => '',
     'maildomain' => 'mydomain.com',
     'smtphost' => 'localhost',
     'smtpport' => 25,
     'realm' => '',
     'preferred' => '',
     'dotfiles' => false,
     'hierarchies' => array()
);


So tyhe main diff between our setup is hordeauth is tru for me and false 
for you.
