But I want to force secure working - in some kind of secure-only mode, so that internet-based users can reach the server securely. So I changed the protocols to:

protocol = imaps

with:

disable_plaintext_auth = yes

In this configuration, TB could not connect on 143, but only on 993, *and*, only if TB's SSL option is selected (not its TLS option). This was good, and bad.

You need either v2.0 or run two separate Dovecot installations with different configs. With v2.0 you could do simply:

disable_plaintext_auth = yes remote_ip 10.0.0.0/8 { disable_plaintext_auth = no }

or something like that.
