The deploy finished successfull now.

Task: upgrade oVirt 4.3 to oVirt 4.4 
boundary conditions: access to repositories via repository server only (RH 
Satellite), encapsulated management network (no connection outside this segment)

short steps i have done starting with an already installed host:

1. # dnf downgrade microcode_ctl 
    until 
    # vdsm-client Host getCapabilities | grep -i flags
    shows a matching CPU type (the same as in oVirt cluster configuration)
2. install and start squid on deploy host, no configuration necessary since 
192.168.0.0/16 is already allowed
3. # hosted-engine --deploy --restore-from-file=/root/backup_ovirtman.bck 
--ansible-extra-vars=he_offline_deployment=true 
--ansible-extra-vars=he_pause_before_engine_setup=true
    gateway: <any pingable device within the managemant network>
    check method: ping
    Pause after adding the host? (Yes, No)[No]: yes
   (don't miss that "yes")
4. in the local VM:
    modify repositories as needed to match repo server, 
    add exclude=postgresql-jdbc to CentOS-Stream-AppStream.repo
    add exclude=ovirt-release44 to ovirt-4.4.repo 
    add proxy entry to /etc/dnf/dnf.conf (proxy=http://<deploy host IP>:3128/)
    add hostnames to /etc/hosts as needed
5. # dnf upgrade --nobest
6. check if all repos are still working, make corrections if needed
    check postgresql-jdbc
    # dnf list postgresql-jdbc
    must not be 42.2.14* , should be 42.2.3-3.el8_2
7. delete Lock-file
8. at the next stop, start firefox on host and log in to the engine
    set up host network as required, go on only, if all hosts and all storage 
domains are up
    after saving the network configuration the host routing may be broken, chek 
on host:
    # cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    if 0 do:
    # echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
    all hosts und domains should be up again
9. delete Lock-file
10. chose hosted_storage and complete the deploy

thanks to Didi for the hints and the patience
