I've hit this case myself, and I think it's an elegant way to solve it
indeed. Apparently the Squirrelmail vlogin plugin is made for this
purpose:
http://squirrelmail.org/plugin_view.php?id=47
but it's not packaged. I've looked at the plugin, and it seemed very
rich in functionality, but I didn't really want to start messing with
this plugin and also add the "compatibility" plugin just for the sake
of pointing at a different system-wide config file for this or that
domain. Still, I wanted to mention this option in this bug; it might
be useful in other cases.
I do have a slightly different config fragment from yours:

I do:
/* include VirtualHost specific config if present */
@include SM_PATH . "config/config_{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}.php";
and I have the config at /etc/squirrelmail/config_$host.php.
I suspect it would be a good idea to guard the include with some test
on the contents of SERVER_NAME / HTTP_HOST though.
