Because that is the work it is described to work on the page
https://wiki.mozilla.org/Thunderbird:Autoconfiguration

1 - tb-install-dir/isp/example.com.xml on the harddisk
2 - check for autoconfig.example.com
3 - look up of "example.com" in the ISPDB
4 - look up "MX example.com" in DNS, and for mx1.mail.hoster.com, look up
"hoster.com" in the ISPDB
5 - try to guess (imap.example.com, smtp.example.com etc.)

You cannot assume that everybody will be present in Mozilla ISP database,
especially if you are not a big ISP.

That feature would simply make it possible to easily deploy Kmail in a
corporate environment for example.
