I think this would take some firmware study or more knowledge than I have to answer this. There are more settings in configuration_adv.h that should be coming into play. For example...

#define ENDSTOPS_ONLY_FOR_HOMING // If defined the endstops will only be used for homing

makes it sound like the carriage would not stop when it hit the max endstop switch at 250mm for a manual move. What I don't know or understand is if you have max endstops, do you also have to have the home position defined at the max (250 in your case)? Otherwise I'm not sure how the homing process would work.

Every time I've tried to manually command the carriage farther than it mechanically can, it's always been when I forgot to properly issue a homing command beforehand. Using max endstops wouldn't eliminate this problem.
