Technically I think that having pre-configured stuff would be possible with
KAccounts,
the existing accounts are stored in just a sqlite database.

Plus I'd assume you'd have to authenticate to that corporate account on
first login anyway?
What I did in KTp is when it finds a Telepathy account which is not stored
in KAccounts, it asks for password (which it would anyway because no stored
password exists) and if you choose to save the password, new account in
KAccounts
is created for that Telepathy account.

However, I believe that the config should indeed be rather stored in it's
own config file.
The reason is smaller overhead compared to starting and querying KAccounts.
