The file /etc/davfs2/secrets on my Raspberry PI contains this
https://start.hubzilla.org/dav/my-webdav-dir email@example.com password

The file /etc/fstab contains this
https://start.hubzilla.org/dav/my-webdav-dir /media/my-webdav-dir davfs noauto,user,rw 0 0

During Mounting
mount /media/mein-webdav-dir

I get

/sbin/mount.davfs: mounting failed
Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge

Note: The name/entity my-webdav-dir does not contain "-" characters. By the way, the integration of the Hubzilla-WebDAV folder under Windows works - see screenshots.

What can I do for mounting my Hubzilla-WebDAV on Raspberry PI?

Here my Raspberry PI:

PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 10 (buster)"
NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux"
VERSION_ID="10"
VERSION="10 (buster)"
VERSION_CODENAME=buster
ID=raspbian
ID_LIKE=debian

OK, yet works with
https://start.hubzilla.org/dav my-webdav-dir password
in /etc/davfs2/secrets.

For
mount /media/mein-webdav-dir
is require with email@example.com password to authenticate. How can I this automatize?

Is mein-webdav-dir a typo ?

You've got this in your /etc/fstab:
https://start.hubzilla.org/dav/my-webdav-dir  /media/my-webdav-dir davfs noauto,user,rw 0 0

So
https://HZserver/dav/HZuser    /media/mountpoint davfs noauto,user,rw 0 0
where HZuser is your hubzilla account is my-webdav-dir and mountpoint is my-webdav-dir

So you need this in you /etc/davfs2/secrets
https://start.hubzilla.org/dav/my-webdav-dir  my-webdav-dir  PASSWD
