Ok, thanks.
Here is my configuration with openfire:

$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_bosh_prebind_url']= function($args) {
        return 'http://localhost:7070/http-bind/';
 };
$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_bosh_url']= function($args) {
        return '/http-bind/';
};

$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_hostname'] = function($args) {
  list($user,$host) = explode('@', $args['user']);
    return 'localhost';
    };
$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_password']= function($args) {
        return $args['pass'];
};
$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_enable_always'] = true;

$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_debug'] = true;

// Enable development mode
$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_devel_mode'] = false;

// Use older XMPP bind code (in case someone is having problem with
// newer code using Candy Chat's prebind library)
$rcmail_config['converse_xmpp_old_style_prebind'] =false;

If I set  old_style_prebind =  true I have the chance to see my password in my 
browser's navigation bar like:

http://mail.example.com/?jid=eee&password=eee

This is also logged in apache's log and, as a bonus, openfire don't work with 
this option.

In apache I have:
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPass /http-bind http://localhost:7070/http-bind/
ProxyPassReverse /http-bind http://localhost:7070/http-bind/


Obviously, I use openfire on the same machine.
I authenticate with uid, who don't contain the domain part. 
In this case, converse_xmpp_hostname need to be explicitly set.
