dont understand where is the problem then....

Probably, the wrong file.

The error message says line 13 but management appears on line 12 of the file which you posted ..

File is good, I tried to use this file on ubuntu and it works. Im using openvpn on openwrt, could it be, that openwrt doesnt support management interface?

https://forum.openwrt.org/t/openvpn-management-interface-not-supported/11101
https://forum.archive.openwrt.org/viewtopic.php?id=56988

From web-interface I found management-interface option, so i think openwrt supports this function.

I tried add to uci config: option management '127.0.0.1 7505 /etc/config/openvpn-psw'
but still no use :/
