As has been explained to you, that isn't how FreeRADIUS config parser 
works. The files are parsed and tokenised before syntax is applied; 
there's no way for the parser to "know" it's a regexp.

You need to write:

  DEFAULT User-Name =~ "(.*\\.de\\.de$)"

...as I also mentioned, this is somewhat common; Exim for example 
requires that you do this in it's config file. This is not unusual.
