Which size of a wrench do I need in order to release the spark plug?

The drawn steel wrench that was included in the tool bag is the correct piece, but I think that Motion Pro and perhaps others make one that will clear the water inlet. IIRC there was a thread on this subject here earlier - welcome aboard and have a look around.
Sparkplugs traditionally have metric threads and inch size flats. You need a 13/16" socket (nominal size) = .8125" = 20.66 mm
Measuring a BR8EG spark plug shows .805" actual = 20.45 mm
A standard spark plug socket (Husky, Snap On etc.) has a shallow hex and clears the water outlet. There may be some variation between brands of sockets.
As stated the stock sheet metal wrench fits OK.

Thanks guys!

twowheels - I didn't got any tool bag with the bike (should I claim it from the dealer? I got that bike 3 weeks ago)

That tool is a perfect fit up and around the plug with everything around. Desert tank, stock tank, no problem. Best piece of kit in my trail bag. I have not had to use it in anger on the trail, but I know that it works well enough to not have to worry about it. Worth every penny.

I have one of these and it works great
I painted it red and drilled a hole for zip tie to keep it from getting lost
Cheap and works

I use the same wrench. Has never let me down. I expected to bend and/or break it, a long time ago.

I was going to post that. Works great on 2010 250. I have the one from the tool kit too, but I already had the MSR wrench so I tried it.

Get Tools From Dealer
Yes, you should have gotten a tool kit from the dealer with your bike. As mentioned, it will have the spark plug wrench.
