You have a few options:
1) remove gmysql-dnssec from your configuration. This will fully disable DNSSEC, and also disable all features that use the domainmetadata table. It will also make PowerDNS ignore ordername and auth and this error will go away.
2) keep gmysql-dnssec, and "fake up" ordername and auth. For non-DNSSEC domains, put 1 in auth. ordername is ignored so NULL is a good value for it.

If you do want to support DNSSEC for (some) domains, please read http://doc.powerdns.com/html/dnssec-modes.html#dnssec-direct-database very carefully and/or use rectify-zone after zone data changes.

Kind regards,
