I recall that I saw a plugin that just does this, but cannot find it back.
What I"m looking for is a plugin that enables you to add a new-entry form on your website that users can use to add a new entry, which will be added to the queue to be approved/denied for publishing. Including the ability to add custom fields.
Is there any?

You are looking for EntryPost by Mark Carey.

I used it under 4.2x. You can use it as a simple contact form or to do what you describe, including custom fields.
If you're using MT Pro, check out the Community Blog or Community Forum template sets, which include an entry form that will meet your needs.
Thanks Michael, seems what I'm looking for. Quite costly though...
Dan: I found the form, however: how do you make sure that those will be queued up for approval, instead of published immediately?
tnx!
Just set the default publish status to "Unpublished."

Dan, sorry for replying so late, but I'm now in the process of implementing it. One thing though: is it possible to configure it so anonymous users are able to use it too?
anyone?
Is that possible? Or to set a default author to a public entry-form?
I've set 'allow anonymous reactions', but still no form comes up.
Ones I manually add a 'author_id' hidden field with the value to my author_id, it still says authentication required.
Any way, to allow for anonymously submitting an entry unpublished? Seems that mt almost supports this, but lacks the final details. IE, it'll probably won't require lots of code-changes
