   Anyone knows why Apache does not return REMOTE_USER variable in SSL mode?
   Because of this I have to authenticate in non-SSL mode first and set a
   cookie.

Make sure the directory is set to require authentication.
Authentication and SSL are orthogonal: you can have either without
the other.

In theory, you could use client-side certificates through SSL to
provide authentication, but I haven't seen that done.
