man table-socketmap is interesting but confusing:
______________________________________________
"""DESCRIPTION
     This manual page documents the file
 format of "socketmap" tables used by
     the smtpd(8) mail daemon.

     The format described here applies to tables
 as defined in smtpd.conf(5).

SOCKETMAP TABLE
     A "socketmap" table uses a simple protocol.
The client sends a single-
     line request and the server sends
a single-line reply.

     The table may be used for any kind of key-based
lookup and replies are
     expected to follow the formats described in table(5).
"""
______________________________________________________

This table type could be just an experimental
useless table type like ldap tables or
a universal key to any userdata(password) storage if
one manages to make a middleware which
is able to make requests to any userdata storage
and return a needed value in proper format
to smtpd server through socketmap.

But again no clear manual entry makes it useless.
No hint in the manual how to configure this type
of table access

Where can I find any manuals and examples regarding OpenSMTPD-extras?

Try:

    $ man -k ^table-
    $ man table-passwd table-socketmap table-sqlite table-redis

Which table types are supported and do not have status "experimental"
like ldap tables?
E.g. what is opensmtpd-extras-python and how can I use it?

Not sure about thise questions.

Your best bet is to git clone the repository and search for the tables,
etc you are interested in.

That would be unusual with OpenBSD; when possible, we try to include
documentation in user-installable packages and not only in source
distributions.

Strangely, in this case, there are files

   table-postgres.5 table-mysql.5

in the source tarballs but not in the respective packing lists.

Strangely, the tarball also contains three empty README files.

If there is a manual simply `mandoc file | less`.

Not the best advice ever...  :-/

Manually piping mandoc(1) output to less(1) is never needed.

If you have a manual page in the current directory - say, table-sqlite.5 -
then just

    $ man -l table-sqlite.5

is sufficient, and if it's properly installed, as the opensmtpd-extras
package does it, then just

    $ man table-sqlite

does the job without even needing to worry about the current directory.

Unfortunantly there aren't manuals for all of the `extras`.

Hmm, you may be right about that one, for example a table-python(5)
manual page doesn't appear to exist.

Yours,
   Ingo
