There is no way of doing this in IMP 4.  In IMP 5 there is an option  
to always send a MDN if requested, although it is extremely dangerous  
and discouraged (easy way for spam messages to phish and determine  
valid e-mail addresses).

However, your request is a valid idea so I have implemented a hook  
(IMP 5 only) that allows an admin to determine when the MDN prompting  
should be skipped.
