Perhaps you could protect all pages apart from those that are anon-editable and give all logged in users sufficient privileges to edit protected pages? Bit of a hack, but it might work for some specific cases.
Wouldn't I have to each new page to the config file by hand in that case?
No. "Protection" is an action performed by anyone with (in all current versions of MediaWiki) "sysop" status, through the normal web interface - see http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Administration and linked pages for a few further clues about this. [Basically, if you are logged in with sysop privileges, you should see an extra tab above articles marked "protect" or "unprotect".]
