I'll try a NO_OPENSSL build later on today and see to get it fixed.

No, these should be different issues; you may have a libssl (which uses
libcrypto) requiring libcrypto to be linked in, even if you only use
interfaces from libssl (and that's what NEEDS_CRYPTO_WITH_SSL seem to be
designed to deal with), but in this case what you have is rather
imap-send using the libcrypto interfaces _as well as_ the libssl
interfaces.

I have blogged a detailed analysis of the problem, if you wish to see
the details:
