No. keys.300baud.de would work only for email at keys.300baud.de

However, for email at 300baud.de, you can use openpgpkey.300baud.de

Because there is a https://openpgpkey.300baud.de which higher priority
(and a certificate error, etc, etc)

You don't need a wildcard entry. You could simply request a certificate
with the right name that will be needed.
