Ok, I got over it by converting it to HTML and then removing word breaking (Character with ASCII code 173) and adding <br /> manually wherever I needed it. Well it worked. I managed to create mobipocket book.
173 is actually a soft hyphen meaning it should only show up when needed at the end of a line. If mobi files show it all the time then that is a bug that needs correcting in the reader.
