On beta.icloud.com you set it in here:Hmm, I think we don't understand each other. Never-mind, now I only need to know, where I can configure it for outgoing emails
In Mail you would set it here:

Has your custom domain definitely been configured?
A few more observations playing around with this in the last few days
1. The "From" Aliases do appear on older iOS and macOS. It just takes a bit of time to show up. You don't need iOS15 or the beta iCloud page
2. Removing and then adding an email in your domain doesn't make that email show up in "beta.icloud.com" from or aliases, but shows up on iPhones and macOS and you can send emails from these IDs. --> Reported via Feedback assistant
3. If your Apple ID was your custom domain email and then you add that email in custom domains, too, you cannot send emails from this address --> Reported via Feedback assistant
4. If you're forced to make an "@icloud.com" email just to get this to work, you can easily disable it from bothering you. Just go to "https://beta.icloud.com/mail/"-->Settings-->Composing-->Send From-->Uncheck the iCloud email

Thank you for great observations.
1. For me, after 3 days, I still can't see aliases in "From" section.
3. I have my main mail as custom apple ID, so I hope that I can switch it from FastMail to iCloud and normally use it.
I am not sure exactly when the aliases appeared on my phone. I just noticed them today, which is definitely more than 3 days later.
For 3, I changed my Apple ID to something else and then added my main mail again and I could send emails from it then.
And aliases apeared you mean that section? Because when I click on aliases in Apple Mail in macOS it redirects me to web.
Basically just the mail app in iOS and macOS started showing the “from” drop down when composing new emails with my custom domain emails there.
You got point here. My new domain just appear in Mail app in macOS. Great!
This does seem promising, but I am not sure that I am ready to move my main email domain over just yet, especially as it is my Apple ID and I have a few aliases on there. However, it will be perfect for my sons who just have their name@fullname.com email addresses forwarded to their iCloud addresses, as I thought it was overkill to pay for full email hosting for them.
I still can't configure outgoing email. I can select it on both iPhone and Mac, but only from iPhone there is also my name, but when I send mail from Mac, there is only my email and I can't configure it.
The odd thing is this was working at first, but then randomly broke so they changed something.
I changed my Apple ID to an @outlook.com email and then removed and re-added this alias again. Now it works fine. I have reported this in Feedback assistant.

How long takes set of domain after puting in MX and TXT records? I did it yesterday at 4PM and now at 6AM I'm still getting error, to check my records (after 14 hours).
No, doesn't take that long. Can you send a screenshot of your entries, you can mask the confidential bits.
If you are also changing your NS records, that takes anywhere between 24-48 hours. Sometimes even more. You can check here

For me on iOS and macOS, the email addresses appear raw, without the name. I don't mind, because when the recipient receives my email, they see my name.
