Digging on the Mikrotik forum I found a post which resolves this issue. Shortly, open the registry and navigate to the entry: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL

There, create a new DWORD key named SendExtraRecord with a Hex value of 2.After that retry the VPN connection (no need for a restart).

I just wanted to share this finding, since it is a very common and the page where the solution can be found is not very well optimized for search engines, so I'll just leave it here for people to easier solve it, if they encounter it.
