Well, I created the hook :-) If someone is interested, the code is 
bellow.

I didn't use preference hook for "from_addr" because what I really need is 
not the default address for new identities, but the value for the default 
identity, even when the identity already exists. From prefes hook I was 
unable to write to other preferences (do not know why), so I created a 
postauthentication hook which does everything needed. The only thing I 
have not resolved is how to tell the preferences cache to update the data 
immediatelly. But in the database everything is stored so this resolves at 
the next login automatically.


require_once('Horde/Identity.php');

if (!function_exists('_horde_hook_postauthenticate')) {
      function _horde_hook_postauthenticate($userID, $credential, $realm)
      {
          $name = "$userID";
          if (is_null($name)) {
              $name = Auth::getAuth();
          }
          if (!empty($name)) {
              $users_identities = &Identity::singleton('none',"$name");
              $users_identities->init();
              $users_identity_default_from_addr = $users_identities->getValue('from_addr');
              if (empty($users_identity_default_from_addr)) {
                  $mail = "$name" . "@natur.cuni.cz";
                  $users_identities->setValue('from_addr',"$mail");
                  $users_identities->save();
              } else {
                  $mail = "$users_identity_default_from_addr";
              }
              // If no email address is found, then the login name will
              // be used.
              return (empty($mail) ? '' : $mail);
          }
          return '';
      }
}
