I had the same issue some time ago, If I remember right, with submission
the IMAP client needs to support some additional IMAP features which
most clients currently don't do.

I did it the other way round - my clients send mails by smtp and a
postfix milter script catches the mail on the mail server and copies it
locally to the user's IMAP mailbox - the clients don't upload any sent
mails by IMAP anymore.

Am using mailfromd as milter: https://puszcza.gnu.org.ua/software/mailfromd/
