1.) Do you have the moment script linked to your HTML?

IF not be sure to add the following in the <head> tag of your html <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/moment.js/2.29.1/moment.min.js" referrerpolicy="no-referrer"></script>

IF so. You can do the following.

Instead of rendering it in columnDefs, you can actually reformat the date in the column initialization like so:

moment.suppressDeprecationWarnings = true;

var dataSet = [
{
"Something" : "Something1",
"Date" : "01/12/2021"
}
]

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('#example').DataTable( {
        data: dataSet,
        columns: [
            { "data": "Something" },
            { "data": "Date",
            render: function(data, type, row) { //render function to format the date values from my AJAX 
                if (type === "sort" || type === "type") {
                    return data;
                }
                return moment(data).format("DD.MM.YYYY HH:mm");
                }
                }
        ]
    } );
} );
