I just downloaded mIRC v7.19 and the SSL installer, installed both on Ubuntu 10.10 and Wine 1.2.2, ran mIRC, typed /server efnet.xs4all.nl +6697 and mIRC connected on the first attempt without any issues. I didn't see any Ubuntu or Wine requests for any other DLLs or components. What is the exact message that you are seeing?

I tried on a fresh ubuntu 12.04 + latest wine version from repo + openssl from this website. I still can't get it working, the error message looks like "*** /server error ssl not available".

Did you install the vcrun2005 distributables? winefix should be able to do that for you.

No i didn't because i actually couldn't (wine > 1.3 looks bugged even the development version).

I installed q4wine, installed vcrun2005 and now everything works fine! thanks!!!

FYI, the installers packaged by mIRC don't actually rely on the vcrun2005 executables as far as I know (this is why Khaled packages them himself), it was just a long shot-- but my guess is it's q4wine that solved the issue, and that your previous wine install was broken.

Just generate your own ssl key. Open up a terminal and run
Code:
openssl req -newkey rsa:2048 -days 730 -x509 -keyout mircssl.key -out mircssl.cert -nodes

Then in mIRC's SSL menu, chose the two generated files for Private Key and Certification Chain respectively
