Note that I would prefer that there are no repetitions in the strings, although I can repair that later, if necessary.

This is not possible using built in Notepad++ functionality.
You could write a script to do it.
There is a python script plugin for Notepad++:
Python Script for Notepad++
- Full programmatic access to Notepad++ features and menus
- Full programmatic access to all of Scintilla features
- Call other plugin menu items
- Assign menu items, shortcuts and toolbar icons to scripts
- Process Notepad++ and Scintilla events, direct from a Python script
- Python console built-in
- Full regular expression support for search and replace - script Python regular expression replaces
- Start external programs and pipe the output direct to a Notepad++ document, or filter it, or simply to the console window
- Full documentation for all the objects and methods

As DavidPostill wrote, this is not possible via Notepad++.
However, if the list of replacements and the list of files in which to replace is short, I'd use the following manual approach:
- first, replace
XXX, becauseXXXis not part ofXorXX(reversed,Xis a part ofXXX, and if you replaceXfirst, e. g. withfoo, then you will end up withfoo,foofoo,foofoofoo.) - then replace
XX
at the end, replace
X
test1=X
test2=XX
test3=XXX
ctrl-a, ctrl-h
search: XXX
replace: foo
test1=X
test2=XX
test3=foo
ctrl-h
search: XX
replace: bar
test1=X
test2=bar
test3=foo
and so on.
Counter example:
test1=X
test2=XX
test3=XXX
ctrl-a, ctrl-h
search: X
replace: foo
test1=foo
test2=foofoo
test3=foofoofoo

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set "search=%1"
set "replace=%2"
set "textfile=Input.txt"

(for /f "delims=" %%i in (%textfile%) do (
set "line=%%i"
set "line=!line:%search%=%replace%!"
echo(!line!

del %textfile%
