My question is simple  Is this true or can I safely use direkt die cooling without having to fear my chip will die a sudden death after about six months?
And another question about direkt die cooling; I intend to use 2 component glue from the automotive industry but only if it doesn't conduct elektricity. If I test it with a simple multimeter and it doesn't beep, is it safe to use in that case?
Or is that beep test to check for conductivity not waterproof?

What is this 2 component glue you're thinking about using? If it's some kind of epoxy, then be careful because some of them can be weakened by water. Also make sure to follow the usage instructions very strictly, as not mixing it properly or putting it into use before it's fully cured could yield disastrous results.
If it's some kind of resin used for fiberglass body repairs, then also be aware that some of those are epoxy-based and can be affected by water. I think your best bet would be to go to or contact a marnie supply store, and get some fiberglass resin that wil be waterproof and hold up to whatever kinds of abuse it will need to endure. That is assuming you want to use a 2-part resin system (permanent bond!)
Another option would be something like RTV or a silicone based adhesive used for plumbing or marine purposes.
