While all of Lao Dan's stories, except the later Daoist versions, were within the realm of reality except the fact that he lived over 160 years old(which is actually still possible with a strech of imagination).
The earliest Lao Dan is mentioned is mid-late 3rd century BCE (in the Xunzi, Zhuangzi, Hanfeizi and Lüshi Chunqiu), which is a few hundred years after his supposed lifetime.
Whether Lao Zi met Confucius is simply not known since the only major sources we have of judging that is the annalects(which is not a history book) and Mozi(which again, shows contants in a song dynasty version)

Chuang-Tze had made himself well acquainted with all the literature of his time, but preferred the views of Lao-Tze; and ranked himself among his followers, so that of the more than ten myriads of characters contained in his published writings the greater part are occupied with metaphorical illustrations of Lao's doctrines.
Such names and characters as "Wei-lei Hsu" and "Khang-sang Tze" are fictitious, and the pieces where they occur are not to be understood as narratives of real events.
But Chuang was an admirable writer and skilful composer, and by his instances and truthful descriptions hit and exposed the Mohists and Literati.
