No, $host_without_www is not reserved name.
Try the following:

- if ($host ~* !^(.*)\.mydomain\.nl$) {
+ if ($host !~* ^(.*)\.mydomain\.nl$) {

BTW, it's better to use something like this instead of "if":

server {
     server_name  www.maydomain.nl;
     ...
}

server {
     server_name  maydomain.nl;
     rewrite ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.nl/$1 permanent;
}
