That should work.
Executed above command to remove all traces of a host, but getting below error:
2013-05-27 15:07:22 Whoops ! Failed to send message (timeout)

Are you running the command on the Xymon server? If so, it's unusual that you get a time-out trying to connect to localhost. If the Xymon daemon is running, you should get an instant connection. If it's not running, you should get an instant connection refused. A time-out is more typical of a filtered connection, such as when a Xymon client cannot connect to a Xymon server because of a firewall in the middle. But to localhost? I'm a bit puzzled by this. Are you running a host-based packet filter, such as netfilter, iptables, ipfw?
Can you connect using telnet:
$ *telnet 127.0.0.1 1984* Trying 127.0.0.1... Connection to 127.0.0.1 Escape character is '^]'. *^]* telnet> *quit* $
