But the decoding function still gets these 1/25000.

This is unclear to me:  "changed it for output 1/25 for codec and stream get changed to 1/90000"
Are you setting it now to 1/25 or to 1/90000 ?

Why don't you set all to 1/1000, the same value, then it's easy to see if audio and video DTS runs apart after a while.

And then rescaling it with av_rescale_q_rnd after encoding is done, so before i write the frames/packet i scale the pts/dts for that i use codeccontext timebase and stream timebase, tried other things too but didnt change anything. Thats all i do with pts/dts. And the pts/dts incrementation for video and audio doesn't look wrong to me.

When you check with ffprobe, do audio and video still have about the same (resulting) DTS/PTS after 5 minutes, or at the end of the movie? 

(it might be easier to compare if you use the same timebase for audio and video.)

And if that's ok then make sure there are no different values set for timebase or codec parameters in the single streams and in the container. I think that is what your problem is, why ffplay/VLC stays sync and QT not.
