I thing I found the use for loginrealms option.

I works like a filter.

Imagine you have an authentication infrastructure for multiple
domains: example.com, example.net .....
I could be running on ldap, kerberos, ....

Then you have an imap server that manage users only for domain example.com.
If you set

loginrealms: example.com, example.net

then user from example.net will be able to authenticate, but any
operation on a mailbox will fail
because they don't have one (or access to any one).

If you set

loginrealms: example.com

then the same user will be rejected at authentication !
