I'm in the process of fitting a rear brake to my work bike (was fixed, now have a freewheel). The routing looks like this:

Internal brake cable - which ferrules to use?

That means the outer cable has nothing to fit into from the lever to the top tube?
I don't really understand your question. The whole stuff must be installed as you do for example in a case of a mountain bike. Inner cable, outer cable housing (from the brake lever to the hole of the top tube) with two stops at the both ends of the outer housing.
The inner cable can be pushed in the tube, because the tube must have an inner guide, which will drive the inner cable to the right direction inside.

Your cable entry point looks the same as my Daccordi and I used to use standard ferrules but was never happy with them. I now have stepped ones like this and they're much better as the outer cable doesn't slop around. I have no idea where they came from though.
Obviously, I have pulled the ferrule out of the cable tube to show the design, it normally sits nice and flush.
