Go buy a 2nd hand switch starting with Cisco Catalyst 3560X onwards , 4xxx / cisco industrial( IE series) switch as they hardware offload'ed macsec.
Even Juniper's got a good collection of macsec enabled switches.
You can even buy off the shelf dedicated MACSEC media converters now-a-days : https://www.extremenetworks.com/product ... ec-adapter
From testing Mikrotik's current MACSEC as of 7.17 is single threaded and is quite poor performance.
Its strange that MT's favorite chip supplier MARVELL didn't offer MT one of there chips that has MACSEC integrated, as they have boat-loads of supported switching chips with it available.
