The problem in your example isn’t define but the stable which uses a buffer
to collect the content and buffers and be used in \def or \define commands.
What you can do in this case is to replace \startxtable with
\startembeddedxtable
and change your code to
\dfeine[1]\mytable
{\startembeddedxtable
\startxrow
\startxcell#1\stopxcell
\stopxrow
\stopembeddedxtable}
