Clients would have to be rewritten to support the new IMAP extensions. If the IMAP server supported outgoing email then the client would know it through CAPABILITIES. It would then not need to have any outgoing email settings. It would cut client configuration in half.

My server currently uses:

Incoming: imap.example.com
Outgoing: smtp.example.com

If dovecot 'understands' smtp, then why couldn't you just point the outgoing to 'imap.example.com', so no Client mods would be needed?

But the clients send to port 25 on the outgoing server, unless you force them to use something different. Port 25 is SMTP. You can have incoming and outgoing on the same server, you just need a MTA running along with the dovecot server.
