Is there any smartplug out there, that has the EU socket, can measure energy and isnt cloud depended while being easily sourced in Germany? The only things ive seen where either expensive (like 50€ per piece) or dodgy stuff from ali-express (i dont like to tinker with devices that handle mains).

Another store that sells tasmota pre-flasched devices (guaranteed a esp inside) is reichelt.
If you want - this devices can easily (ota) converted to esphome which will make mqtt obsolete and instead using all the goodies (for example setup) from the native api:
