I'd define supernatural to be something outside of the natural altogether, outside of natural laws, known or unknown. Somethjng that doesn't have to adhere to the laws of nature at all, because it's above it.
Much of string theory is currently unproven, that doesn't make it supernatural. The sun wasn't supernatural before nuclear fusion was discovered.
That's just my two cents.

I personally don't think there is any connection between string theory and the supernatural either, but I don't discount that there could be something that we will never explain but continues to give people meaning and inspiration to their lives.
