Ahem. You *deleted* everything FreeRADIUS knows about RADIUS attributes and 
replaced it with *only* MikroTik stuff? "Doomed" is the only word that comes 
to my mind then :-)

/etc/freeradius/dictionary is the MASTER dictionary. Don't delete it. Instead, 
download the MikroTik thing into a different dictionary, and move it 
to /etc/freeradius under a *different* name, 
like /etc/freeradius/dictionary.mikrotik

Then, edit /etc/freeradius/dictionary to $INCLUDE this file.

The error log you provided still seems to indicate that there is a formatting 
error in that MikroTik dictionary. You need to fix its syntax so that it 
conforms to FreeRADIUS then - regardless of Mikrotik's claim that it *is* 
conformant.

Start by not deleting essential parts ;-)
