You need a systemd-service file to use it as an systemd-service.
Either you disabled it (try systemctl enable offlineimap.service),
or create a new service file.
The package seems to contain an example service file:
https://packages.debian.org/stretch/all/offlineimap/filelist
/usr/share/doc/offlineimap/examples/systemd/offlineimap.service

I'm not a systemd expert, but I think if there's no service file you can't
start it as a systemd service anyway.
