I think I should describe the situation of mine that I am dreaming of ;-).

a) I have ADSL internet connection that has dynamic address and mail
account by ISP. ISP is using some kind of port restriction for mail
transfer to standard port.
b) Mail accounts of users are using POP3 protocols. There is mail
accounts from ISP, but there is also Gmail accounts using non-standard
ports.

fetchmail is what will work with you on these two points.

c) I want that standalone server receives LAN and internet mail of LAN
users.

When setting up exim, it'll ask you if you what range you want to act as a
smarthost for. Tell it your local network's information.

d) I want that users can receive their mail from mail server by their
favourite MUA in LAN.

You will also need to install some kind of POP or IMAP daemon to handle this
part.

e) I want that MUA handles the mail sending by its own so mail server in
LAN just receives user mail and serves them in LAN.

That's pretty much the default with any MTA, even if it's standalone and not
exchanging mail outside the network.

f) I am planning to use mail server with Horde Groupware Webmail
edition. Is my composition suitable for that?

Which mail server? If you mean exim, yeah, that'll work.
