I know there's a required reservation for the Intercity Hamburg - Copenhagen. 

Do the domestic Intercities (e.g. Copenhagen - Esbjerg) also have a required reservation?

If so, what's the easiest/cheapest way to do so? For both ones?

Not necessary all trains do have mandatory reservation in Denmark.
For instance I see a train combination with two changes starting Esbjerg at 20:41, arriving Fredericia at 21:48, departing Fredericia at 22:30, arriving at Odense 23:27, departing Odense at 3:56, arriving Koebenhavn at 5:47. But this means two changes of (regional) trains at ungodly times.

Intercity or better trains seem to have mandatory seat reservation.

You may consider the Hamburg - Hoeje Taastrup overnight connection, this train of course has mandatory reservation and has only couchettes - but at least it saves you time and hotel.

That train departs Hamburg Hbf 23:26, arrives Hoeje Taastrup at 06:38 in the morning. It is operated by Swedish Snälltåget company. From Hoeje Taastrup you have frequent connections to Koebenhavn, the ride is less, than 15 minutes by a local train.
