That's because "mail -r" sets the envelope from address.

Very certainly because the envelope from is then localhost.localdomain.
Just check what "hostname" tells you. As you did not configure your MTA
the defaults are acting.

That is not advised.
You have a host in the public internet which sends emails. So take care
for everything involved and do not try to hack around your single
problem now. Your MTA needs a proper self-identification when sending out.

Ok.
I can see that your domain preferans.de resolves forward and reverse.
The MX is set to Google mail. Your smart host (as much as you would have
need for it) would be gmail. You have credentials, so you could do SMTP
AUTH. Though, as alexander.farber@xxxxxxxxx is the destination address,
Google mail has no need to relay to a further mail hop.
