Can a PhD from a non-TU9 German university become a professor in a TU9 university?
Suppose, someone does a PhD and a Habilitation from a non TU9 university.
Is there any practical barrier for him to become a professor in a TU9 university?

Yes, maybe not straight away, it depends on the quality of the research, but there are lots of examples where professors have upscaled from lesser universities.

Of course you can. Otherwise their pool for hiring would be awfully small.
But don't take my word for it. To provide some evidence we can look at a department at one of the TU9 universities. For example the Computer Science Department of TU Darmstadt (mainly because I'm somewhat familiar with it)
If we look at the list of full professors and eliminate those that have non-German doctorates, we are left with 18 Professors, 9 of which did not receive their degree from one of the TU9. (Though in practical terms almost none of them did, as the TU9 was only established in 2003.)

- There is no formal difference between PhDs from different universities in Germany.
- There is far from universal agreement in Germany that TU9 are the 'better' or 'elite' universities. Their main distinguishing factor is their focus on engineering subjects. The German 'Universities of Excellence' (Exzellenzunis) would be a better approximation of `German elite universities', but even for them the institution granting the PhD would not matter.
- In general the differences in reputation between universities in Germany is smaller than e.g. in the US or in France
- I know of several concrete cases of TU9 professors with non-TU9 PhDs.
