I am trying to start learning twisted for socket servers creation. I want to add some useful features (like auth, and maybe some other). Maybe someone can point me to a good tutorial which will help me to start (+ maybe some other ideas)

Look here: Twisted Web in 60 seconds. That's a group of blog posts describing step by step how to do lots of common stuff with Twisted, all written by Jean-Paul Calderone, the biggest contributor of Twisted. It's really where you should start.

After that, look at the Twisted core documentation then refer to the API and then into the source code.

Have fun!
