I can set MYSQL Workbench to connect to MariaDB with SSL connection as user identified via mysql_native_password, but if I set the identification to ed25519 it fails. Exists any plugin or solution for it? Should I use another free database management software for MariaDB?

MySQL Workbench depends on libmysql, which doesn't provide the ed25519 authentication plugin, since MySQL server doesn't support ed25519 authentication.
As an alternative you can connect via TLS/SSL instead, or try to install the ed25519 client plugin from MariaDB Connector/C (assuming that the authentication api is still the same in MySQL and MariaDB).

MariaDB and MySQL api are not the same anymore, the ed25519 client installation failed. – Gábor Horváth Feb 19 '21 at 09:38

Yes, you're right - recent libmysql version bumped interface version for authentication plugins to 0x0101 due to new async routine in auth plugin interface. – Georg Richter Feb 19 '21 at 21:23
