We will travel to Spain next week, starting from Germany and using the Deutschlandticket to Kehl and a train ticket Kehl-Strasbourg, so our first travel day will be a normal international travel day. Will we be able to use the saved outbound journey day for another trip later on? We have 10 travel days in 2 months passes.

Can I save my outbound travel day if I pay for my trip to Strasbourg

Yes, no outbound journey will be needed if you start your trip outside Germany.
I’m not 100% sure, but you could travel without ticket if you activate manually a journey from Kehl(Grenze) to Strasbourg, indicating that Kehl(Grenze) is in France. Could someone confirm this option?

That is correct, the Deutschlandticket is valid until the border, and Interrail is valid from the border. No extra ticket needed. Of course, if you're staying overnight in Strasbourg and you have a flexipass, it doesn't make sense to use a travel day for just a short journey to Strasbourg.

Exactly! Such a short journey between Kehl and Strasbourg would only cost around 5 EUR. Get most value from your travel days by saving them for the longer journeys!
Yes! And moreover the reservation and supplement fee for a fast train to Strasbourg would have cost 20 euros per person! We have paid for our inbound journey, as it will be Avignon-Mannheim, but for this short distance it wouldn't make any sense.

The ICE or TGV to France only makes sense if you take it all the way to Paris. (as All domestic TGV reservations are 10/20€ already +2€ booking fee if you want to reserve them online)
They are aloso finally running bigger trains between Appenweier and Strasbourg.
