I'm not at all familiar with LXC domains, however I think I can see the
problem. The above network definition is for a managed network called
'default'. You can see its configuration using virsh. Here's mine:

# virsh net-dumpxml default
<network>
  <name>default</name>
  <uuid>593e1d02-48b6-4ca2-ab49-8b1bca4ddb50</uuid>
  <forward mode='nat'/>
  <bridge name='virbr0' stp='on' delay='0' />
  <ip address='192.168.122.1' netmask='255.255.255.0'>
    <dhcp>
      <range start='192.168.122.2' end='192.168.122.254' />
    </dhcp>
  </ip>
</network>

Note that the bridge is called 'virbr0'. You don't seem to have virbr0
on your system, so my guess is the default network has been stopped or
unconfigured somehow. However, it doesn't sound like you want to use a
managed network, you want to use your existing bridge. You need to
replace your XML above with the following:

 <interface type='bridge'>
  <source bridge='br0'/>
 </interface>

For more info have a look here:

Note the sections 'Virtual network' and 'Bridge to LAN'.
