Not really about selfhosting, but I read that a lot of selfhosters do not selfhost their emails. Should have pop/imap.
I am thinking about iCloud that offers 3 aliases, but actually I need 5. Does iCloud has a catchall-option?
mailbox.org and skiff are „too expensive“ with 3€/month.
migadu is another candidate. 19€/year.
I once read about a cheap one-man-show-E-Mail-provider, that I would like to try, but I can‘t remember the name.
Do you have more suggestions?

Edit:
Thanks for your recommendations! After a short comparism, these are my current candidates:
icloud 12€/year 3 emailadresses/50GB BUT catchall-option (good)
mxroute 80€/lifetime unlimited/10GB
purelymail 9€/year unlimited/unlimited - BUT one man show (bad)
infomanikak mail-service 18€/year 5 adresses/unlimited
sorted out
migadu 19€/year unlimited / only 5GB / BUT only 20/200 (out/in) mails a day (bad)
Protonmail -> no SMTP (bad)
posteo -> no own domain possible (bad)
other recommendations: too expensive
I’ve been using fast mail for about 6 months and have enjoyed it.
I use mainly Protonmail, lately also digging Skiff a lot. It’s a shame Startmail doesn’t support own domains (yet?).
In the past also tried Tutanota, Mailbox.org, Fastmail, Posteo but never really liked using them.
Late to the party on this one, but Tutanota has been great for me. I prefer the fully encrypted storage. They recently put their prices up, though. It was €12 a year.
Proton does have SMTP via Protonmail Bridge
I’ve been using Posteo with my own domain for a few years.
You do need an email forwarder in addition to the hosting since, as you noticed, they don’t support that use-case natively.
My DNS provider, LuaDNS, does that for me. I pay for their Basic tier (US$29/year) but only because I’m using a lot more than what the free tier provides. I did get away with free for about a year though, so that could in fact be sufficient for you, if you decide to go that route.
