What version of passwd?

You can use a custom hook to format the username any way you want in the
current release or HEAD versions.  Enable the hook in passwd/config/conf.php
and then provide the needed hook code (e.g. to remove the realm) in
horde/config/hooks.php (for HEAD) or where ever it goes for RELENG (not sure
really).

Also, look at your passwd/config/backends.php file and make sure you didn't
specify the realm in there.

You can have it search another field in passwd/config/backends.php, or you can
change the username via a hook, or you might have set the realm somewhere and
just removing it (from passwd, not from other modules like IMP) may be
sufficient.
