You cannot store them. XAUTH is an interactive user/password authorization.
Either run ipsec auto --up connection to get prompted, or script it using
whack directly like:

ipsec whack  --name connection --ipsecgroup-xauth --xauthname yourremotename --xauthpass
yourpassword --initiate

See doc/README.XAUTHclient
