I don't have a /var/qmail/control/smtproutes file at all and I tried to
change the domains from defense.at to mail.defense.at and the other way
around, but didn't work out.

They're not "redirected". They just happen to be going to a
lower-priority MX because the highest-priority one is unavailable.

This shouldn't happen. When qmail on mail.defense.at tries to send the
mail to cct.at and fails, it should automatically be able to determine
that the next-highest priority MX is itself, and therefore not attempt
to deliver to it.
Unless, of course, you've created a mail loop using smtproutes. Show us
the contents of /var/qmail/control/smtproutes. You've probably
configured it in a loop.

Show us the qmail-send logs of these deliveries occurring as well.
