Lots of options these days. What’s your budget?

Thanks. 400-600€ is my budget.

Very unlikely that you will get DT Swiss hubs in that budget, you'll probably need at least 800 EUR to get a good wheel with DT Swiss 350s. Consider one of the recommendations made by Ludo above with house brand hubs.

Nextie have by far the best choice of gravel rims.

400/600$ and Dt240’s??

indeed, plenty of options around here.
Peter (XMS carbon) is almost unbeatable if you're looking at good quality for a low price.
My personal favourite is https://www.wheelsfar.com/gravel-c0374 (https://www.wheelsfar.com/gravel-c0374). They also can make custom wheels like with their own dt swiss stile hubs which are very light. Once you start chatting with them, they can give you some options.

I've seen a few people mention Peter, but I've never seen any way of contacting this mystical man.
Does anyone have any contact details?

What did you end up buying?

If you're located in USA, Hunt Wheels is another option...
It's not carbon, but at 1403g for the pair, can't beat the price:
