I've got an iOS app. Currently it's being distributed to tester users. I'm about ready to publish the app to the Appstore. I'm interested in a case where there is a newer version of the app in the Appstore.
Does hockeyapp have any built-in functionality to prompt the user to update the application, and prevent him from using it until updated?

You can use https://appupgrade.dev/ service to force update you mobile apps. You need to create new version for your app versions you want to update in the app upgrade service and select whether you want to force it or just want to let users know that new version is available.
On your iPhone and iPad, apps that you download from the App Store are automatically updated by default. But if there's an issue, you can update an app manually.
Using HockeyApp there is a checkbox to prompt users for a mandatory update to the current app if there is a newer build available.

You can force beta users to update to a newer app version, but you can not force App Store users to update to a newer app version!
The SDK provides a feature to notify users from your App Store builds about new updates, but there is no way to force those to upgrade. This feature is documented here: http://hockeyapp.net/help/sdk/ios/3.6.2/Classes/BITStoreUpdateManager.html
