Dr. Strange have stood against the Infinity gauntlet, he has the power to call upon Eternity ... But do he have what it takes to take down the Dark Phoenix?
Strange has some pretty strong showings. Even people above phoenix, like eternity respect Strange. I agree without prep his doesn't stand much of a chance but with prep he could take her 9/10.
Inconsistent portrayals over time and the lack of much frame of reference make bouts like this impossible to call, IMO. That being said, I's put nothing past Strange.

Strange can't do much on his own. Most of his higher Showings have something to do with someone elses power. Phoenix beats the crap out of him before he can utter one spell.
I don't think Eternity is above Phoenix in power level.
Anyway, although Dr. Strange is indeed powerful, he defeated Shuma Gorath (I think even without prep), but he would die against Dark Phoenix.
Depends on how you look at him. Shuma's ability to manifest in our realm is limited. Crom once dropped a mountain on him for a win.
Strange's final battle against Shuma Gorath OTOH was in SG's own realm, and while he'd been powering up along the way, he didn't know what he was up against until he got there. He consumed Shuma's power completely.
On the journey back, he went in lots of little hops rather than coming straight home. Through each world, he explosively bled off earth shattering amounts of power. If he had attempted to come directly back to good old 616, his mere presence would have desroyed our reality.
Again, who can really say on a bout like this? Just remember, Strange has more upset victories against cosmic entities before 10AM than most heroes do all day.
