The easiest way is probably to have nginx listening on two IP addresses;
each one handling one domain.

No.
http://nginx.org/en/docs/mail/ngx_mail_core_module.html#server_name
says when this is used. If it is important in your case to have two
different names, then you will want to set it in each server{}.

If you use something like
server {
server_name foo;
listen ip1:25;
}
server {
server_name bar;
listen ip2:25;
}
then you can also include an auth_http_header to say "this is foo", or
"this is bar".
Or you can use a different auth_http url for foo and for bar, so that
each one "knows" the backend ip for itself.

http://nginx.org/en/docs/mail/ngx_mail_core_module.html#listen says
"""
Different servers must listen on different address:port pairs.
"""
Alternatively,
http://nginx.org/en/docs/mail/ngx_mail_auth_http_module.html#protocol
shows that you will probably have an Auth-User for IMAP, and an
Auth-SMTP-To for SMTP. If those values make it clear which mail domain is
used in this request, then your auth_http script can use the appropriate
logic.
