Hmm... I have mempatch.sty and memhfixc.sty. Dunno if they are important, I
guess it should work only with clo and cls (depends on the version probably).

yes, probably.

It's not that complex, but you have to get used to lyx's layout language. A
first step, however, would be, if you could figure out which environments are
still unsupported and tell me (maybe with a hint to the corrsponding page in
the manual). The point is, I do not use memoir myself that much (I am quite
happy with KOMA), so I don't know the class very much.

start lyx from the console, run edit->reconfigure and send the output of the
console, please. It is especially important if there is a line like
+checking for document class memoir [memoir]... yes

Hmm... hard to tell without an example document.
