Then, clients (I am using Kmail) report there are unread message, when all of them are in Trash. The question, then is: Is there any way to automatically mark a message as read, when that message is moved to Trash?

You can try writing an imapsieve script for this:

# dovecot.conf

plugin {
  # From elsewhere to Trash folder
  imapsieve_mailbox1_name = Trash
  imapsieve_mailbox1_causes = COPY
  imapsieve_mailbox1_before = file:/usr/lib/dovecot/sieve/mark-seen.sieve
}

protocol imap {
  mail_plugins = $mail_plugins imap_sieve
}

# mark-seen.sieve
require ["imap4flags"];
setflag "\\seen";
