Thank you for suggestion using pvgrub2 PV VM is booting properly.
Only for information what I was done:
1. Booted Gust OS (Debian stretch) with kernel from DOM0 guest.cfg.
kernel      = '/boot/vmlinuz-4.18.0-2-amd64'
extra       = 'elevator=noop'
ramdisk     = '/boot/initrd.img-4.18.0-2-amd64'

2. Installed grub-pc which replace grub-legacy
apt-get install grub-pc

3. Shutdown guest and modify guest.cfg
kernel      = '/usr/lib/grub-xen/grub-x86_64-xen.bin'
extra       = '(xen/xvda2)/boot/grub/grub.cfg'

DOM0 have installed grub-xen-bin and grub-xen-host.

Create guest and is booted properly via GRUB2.
