Why is this overlap at Reception Point not released after some time? No routes have been set.

Because the train has only partially traversed the route. The overlap stays until the train has approached the signal.

The trains are stopped at the relieving point, which is short of the signal. The overlap release timer won't start until the train occupies the TC immediately before the signal.

Can I avoid it somehow? Since 4L77 vil stay there for nearly an hour it effectively stops the posibility for other trains to route past it. Setting a route for 4L24 upwards is not possible.

You'd have to hold them back at a previous signal and only signal them through the relieving point at nearer to their booked departure time.

You can still route 4L24 past using the two U&D Goods lines or the Brent Receptions if any of them are clear.
