Hi Uwe,
First - you can set the "Koordinatengenauigkeit" (coordinate accuracy or something similar in english) to zero for UTM grid. QGIS is super flexible regarding formatting of map grids. You can use the full-power of the QGIS expressions to format your grid. But it is your task to do the Expression correctly. Just set the format to "user defined" and use the "E" (Epsilon) button next to the format selection list. Specifically have a look at the round/format_number functions and string manipulation. If that isn't good enough you can even do you own Python functions). The only issues is that you need a relatively recent QGIS version >= 2.8 (I think) for that. Hope this helps to get started.
