There is nothing special to share. Just take a look to its mpd.conf.sample.
You can use pptp_server part replacing pptp-specific commands (set pptp)
with l2tp-specific and, of course, change link type "pptp" with "l2tp".

You can even debug mpd5/l2tp part without engaging IPSec at all
by using unencrypted "L2TP without IPSEC" clients to begin with.
