Simple reedit JID or domain on both client and server side would be optimal solution.

my server uses default mnesia database.

If you have few registered accounts (a few hundreds or less), you can try this:

In WebAdmin -> Nodes -> your node -> database backup -> create a plain text dump of mnesia
Edit that file with a powerful text editor (Microsoft Nodepad isn't), and make the changes you want, like replacing domain1 with domain2, or delete {...} elements, or write new {...} elements.
Stop ejabberd.
Copy the Mnesia database spool files (see http://www.process-one.net/en/ejabberd/guide_en#install ) to a safe location, and delete the files.
Start ejabberd. It will have an empty database: no users registered.
Create the account that you typically used to enter WebAdmin.
Now you can enter WebAdmin again. Verify that there is only 1 registered user (you).
Go to the database page again, and restore the modified plain text file.
Now you should see all the users, with their modified rosters.

Alternatively to WebAdmin, the database can be backup and restored using the ejabberdctl script.
