At the moment, I use the following packages: d-mode, 
flycheck-d-unittest and company-dcd. I really like the way 
unittests are underlined when failing by flycheck, giving an 
almost REPL-like programming experience.

Autocompletion with company-dcd and syntax check with flycheck 
mostly work fine, but they are not able to find my packages 
installed with DUB. Also, company-dcd-goto-definition only works 
for the standard-library, it is not able to find the definition 
of my own functions nor packages I installed with DUB.

Is there a dfmt-package for emacs? I still use clang-format, 
which kind of works for D-code except when the syntax does not 
exist in C++ (for example "=>" ).

Given the absence on replies, I see two possibilities:
(1) I'm the only emacs-user
or
(2) All emacs-users encounter the same problems I do

I also use Emacs with D but I just use syntax highlighting at the 
moment. You might want to try a language server protocol server 
for D like https://github.com/pure-d/serve-d. I have not used it 
myself, but I have used something similar with TypeScript in the 
past successfully in Emacs.

Unfortunately, I can't help here as I only use d-mode for syntax 
highlighting.

I haven't used clang-format nor do I know if there is a dfmt 
package, but you could define a function that runs "dfmt" on the 
current file.  I can share a basic implementation if you need.

You could also take a look at [uncrustify] which has support for 
D, though I haven't used it.  There even seem to be some (old, 
but hopefully working,) modes for it:

- https://github.com/koko1000ban/emacs-uncrustify-mode

Well, that depends entirely on how you use D, and how you use 
Emacs. :)

For this, you probably want the flycheck-dmd-dub package:

https://github.com/atilaneves/flycheck-dmd-dub


 Also, company-dcd-goto-definition only works for the 
 standard-library, it is not able to find the definition of my 
 own functions nor packages I installed with DUB.


company-dcd actually uses flycheck-dmd-dub to query Dub import 
paths and pass them on to DCD, so it should work (though perhaps 
something needs to be turned on or otherwise configured first).

For indentation, you can use cc-mode's facilities, which are 
supported in d-mode via indent-region.

For full-on formatting, Per Nordlöw wrote a dfmt package 
(wrapping the titular tool). A copy can be found here:
