Yesterday I heard one pastor on my local chuch saying that Hallal meaning is
"Mad/insane" and "act madly".
Is that correct? Is that the real menaning of Hallal or just a nuance in
some specific case?
Generally it means to brag, boast, praise.
It has the meaning you cite IN THE HITHPOEL. For this use see (1Sa 21:14[EB 13]; Jer 25:16; 50:38; 51:7+).
