there is no reason why an authoritative nameserver would forward a
request to his own domain no matter if it's samba, named or somethign else

any authoritative nameserver is supposed to know *every* record within
his own zones and you can't have half of them somewhere lese except
subdomain delegation but *not* for simple hosts like "xmpp.domain.tld"

So, the solution would be that the OP should insert the DNS record for 
his "xmpp.domain.tld" in his Samba DNS server?

If the AD dns domain is 'domain.tld' and 'xmpp' is a computer
hostname,
then yes.

It sounds like the pfsense machine is running as some form of 
caching/forwarding server and this should forward all requests for the 
AD dns domain to the AD DC's.
