Hi Maciej,

This looks like a problem with administrative priviledges for eXist i.e. 
Web Admin couldn't create ls collection in eXist.

Please note that in BasicConfiguration one has three fields. I must 
agree their description is not clear enough. One has the following fields:

"Specify the service username for the exist user" - where you can put 
some new username (or leave default) for Lookup Service to eXist access

"Specify the administration password for exist" - where you put some 
password (or leave default) for the above username

Specify the administration password for exist - where you should put a 
password for eXist "admin" user. You should remove the asterisk and 
provide some password (provided you have not yet changed the admin 
password before e.g. you want the LS to initialize the DB)

Did you use previously configured and containing data eXist or you let 
LS initialize the database?

Try to test you eXist admin password logging into eXist directly: 
http://your_server:8080/exist/index.xml then go to Administration->Admin
