1) Germany and Portugal are both in the Schengen Area, so there is no passport control when travelling between them.
You will still need to show your passport (or a national ID card issued by an EU country) as ID when checking in.
Travelling to outside the Schengen Area from Munich you do go through passport control.
2) "How can i board a plane without my passport?" - you always need ID to board a plane anywhere, either a passport or a European national ID card.
If you travel overland to Portugal (by road or train) you would probably not have to show a passport, but that would still not be legal as you should be carrying a passport at all times, and random checks do occur.
3) "Which airlines is best to travel from munich to lisbon?" - I can't recommend, the options are Lufthansa or TAP (Portuguese).
4) "If i have my ticket and boarding pass online do i have to go through passport control?" - as above there is no passport control, but there is always ID check to see the name matches that on the boarding pass.

Some airlines check identity cards, others do not. I have often flown within the Schengen area without needing my ID card.

Thinking about this, it is a very strange question.
- You want to fly from Munich to Lisbon in 7 days time, and you don't even know which airlines fly the route? This will be expensive as it is short notice, all the cheap tickets will have gone.
- Assuming you don't live in Germany, how did you get there (or intend to get there if not there already) if you don't have a passport?
- And you also need to show your passport to stay in a hotel.
Can you please explain why you want to fly without legal ID?
