Solution
For Wine 1.9.22 stagging and below I only had the files from xbox360ecmu xinput1_3.dll xinput1_9_0.dll xbox360ecmu.ini
which worked for these wine versions but I failed to include the dinput8.dll that also comes with xbox360ecmu cause I had a working setup.
on 1.9.24 with including the dinput8.dll from xbox360ecmu xinputtest.exe now shows the controller connected.
I am sorry if anybody spent time looking into it - I hope by posting my solution that it might save some dev time from others who might experience something similar.
A big thank you to the dev's
