Why not use the smtp *submission* port (and leave 25 disabled)? Also, SMTP auth is a good thing. Much better than the old cowboy days of just trusting some networks..
Well, one intention for mail via IMAP is that most people keep a copy in their Sent folder, which is located remotely as well - in contrast to POP3. So, you have only one transmission of the (same) contents.
Before you mention DSL, cable etc.pp.: there still people out there who either cannot gain a well enough connection (for whatever reason, be it a technical one or just money) or must share the line with plenty of others or think about roaming people using GSM or UMTS.
I don't advocate Send-Mail-Via-Imap heavily, but I know the pros of it for myself. There is another one: Some mail clients have a really bad SMTP AUTH / TLS implementation, in opposite to IMAP.
