Dimitris, please try this and follow the steps to the letter my friend:

1 - Create a "new" Username here http://www.facebook.com/username/
     ( This is NOT the same as your current facebook login or your email name)

2 - Open your Empathy. Go to Edit -> Accounts.

3 - In the new window, click Add. Select Jabber in the dropdown field and check the box “This account already exists on the
     server“. (Do not select “Create a new account”. You will have authentication error later on)

4 - Enter your Facebook username created in Step 1 and append @chat.facebook.com at the back as the Login ID.
     ( For example: <email address hidden> )
     Enter your Facebook login password.
     Click Connect.

Log out and login again to your Facebook account before you can connect with Empathy. That's it. You should now be able to connect to facebook.
