I have enabled SSL support for my dovecot installation but if I enable secure authentication in my MUA, I get an error from dovecot telling me that this is not supported..
Is this because dovecot does not support this or am I missing some config?
Might be. But note that with "secure authentication" it might mean CRAM-MD5, DIGEST-MD5, Kerberos a.s.o. that are no simple plain text or just Base64 coding mechanisms. SSL on the other hand is a way to make a secure *connection*. So make sure some of the above mechanisms are enabled in your dovecot installation as well.

So, if we are talking about authentication, I always get the error:

Do i need to store the password in mysql with md5? I don't fully understand it... Why do i get that error?
Now my "default_pass_scheme = CRYPT", and in mysql I'm using ENCRYPT when i store a password.
No, you need store passwords encrypted with CRAM-MD5 to use CRAM-MD5 if your password is encrypted using CRYPT - only CRYPT is available.
Generally you need to store unencrypted passwords to allow client chose which encryption to use. Then hash is generated internally by dovecot form unencrypted password. If password is already encrypted only this encryption method is available - e.g. you can't generate MD5 hash from Crypt hash.
