I am unclear on the status of your issue.  Please tell me where the
problem lies:

Real IMAP login:     m_user
"Nice" vlogin login:   user

With $rawLoginIsOutgoingEmailAddress turned on, it should set the
outgoing email address to "user", which the MTA (actually,
SquirrelMail might do that first) should correct to
"user@xxxxxxxxxxx".  Is the problem that the MTA isn't doing that?
Did you test this?  Can you show a mail header?
