I assume you are using Magento 1.

This solution tested on Magento 1.9.2.3.

Here is what you can try:

1 - In category Custom Layout Update:

    <reference name="category.products">
      <action method="setAltName"><value>new h1 name</value></action>
    </reference>

2 - In this file below replace the code to add the H1 tag.

File: app/design/frontend/[yourPackage]/[yourTheme]/template/catalog/category/view.phtml

Content to change:

    <h1><?php if($this->getAltName()):?><?php echo $this->getAltName() ?><?php else: ?><?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_category->getName(), 'name') ?><?php endif; ?></h1>

3 - Clear Magento cache.

This solution uses AltName for H1 and if it is not set it uses category name.

you can add a new category attribute called page_title. Here is a tutorial on how to do it.
Then edit the template app/design/frontend/{package}/{theme}/template/catalog/category/view.phtml and replace

<h1><?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_category->getName(), 'name') ?></h1>

with

<h1>
<?php if ($category->getPageTitle()):?>
    <?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_category->getPageTitle(), 'page_title') ?>
<?php else: ?>
    <?php echo $_helper->categoryAttribute($_category, $_category->getName(), 'name') ?>
<?php endif;?>
</h1>

now you can fill in for your DEF category the field page title with DEF stuff and it will be displayed on the page. If you don't fill in the page title field, the category name will be used.
