Pretty much all Swiss regional trains.
Ah, the Transilien/RER - you're right about that. I forgot those.
TER being DOO is news to me - and kinda surprises me for such a unionised country.
Here in the Netherlands, the operators of the regional concessions (Syntus, Arriva, Connexxion) use DOO. Some have "stewards" on board of the trains, but the driver is the sole person responsible for releasing and closing the doors, as well as the dispatch process.
NS does have a guard on board their trains as this is required by the concession and the NS CAO (collective bargaining agreement). On NS territory doors are released by a driver, but closed by a guard.
I wouldn't go as far as saying that - prettymuch all Swiss S-Bahn services are, but many regional trains still have a guard, especially on the smaller, metre-gauge railways.
I think it generally does tend to be either suburban or rural services that are DOO on the continent, although not in all cases - I don't think NMBS/SNCB in Belgium run any DOO services at all, for example. In Austria, most rural branches operated with DMUs tend to be DOO, but with an on-board ticket machine to allow people to still buy tickets on the train.
What about the Gouda - Alphen aan den Rijn line? This is run by NS but is a separate franchise to the main NS network. Presumably the international Abellio service to Dusseldorf is also DOO.
Yes, I think the UK is unusual in using DOO on long, busy trains. In Europe it's more usual to use it on short regional services and metro style services.
The Lille Metro, and some others in France using the VAL system, don't have drivers either.

as is the route to Düsseldorf.
Are there any other international routes that are DOO?
Two to date with one ongoing. The four new lines being built will all be automated.Or a number of Paris Metro lines.
Near enough all SBB regional trains are DOO. Certainly all those operated using Stadler FLIRTs and KISS DoStos, which is most of them these days, but the blue and grey coaches with yellow doors (EW I/II) are set up for DOO (that's why they had the yellow plug doors fitted replacing the old slamdoors), as are the older power-trailer EMUs.
The vast majority of metre gauge lines are also DOO on multiple unit services, though loco hauled trains usually have guards.

I also noticed a curious one on the FLIRTs operated by Meridian out of Munich. A pair of units runs together and splits down the line (Rosenheim I think). Two drivers are carried, one drives and one guards (including dispatch, though I think the driver actually presses the close button, so it's a bit Voyager esque). On reaching Rosenheim, the "guard" takes the second unit, and both operate DOO to their final destination.

The best thing about the automated lines is being able to sit in the front (albeit on longitudinal seating) and watch the stations appearing out of the darkness and wonder about how close they are - you can frequently see one from the other.
I don't think that is true because the Salzburg services don't divide at Rosenheim
I wouldn't call the RE services which run across NRW (eg Aachen-Köln-Siegen) short runs.
They must be almost Thameslink distances.
Presumably these loco-hauled services (often 10-car double deck) are DOO?
They have frequent on-board ticket checks.
