What kings were considered to be divine by Ancient Egyptians, according to DIODORUS SICULUS?

It's really a problem with the translation. In Egyptian religion, pharaohs only become truly divine after death, when they journey to the afterlife and consume their ancestral gods (cf. the "Cannibal Hymn"). On earth, they are still technically human.
When Diodorus says that the Egyptians "honour them as being in truth very gods", he is making a statement regarding the difference between what the Egyptians do and what they say they do. The Greek for this phrase is τιμᾶν ὡς πρὸς ἀλήθειαν ὄντας θεούς (timān hōs alētheian ontas theous). That πρὸς ἀλήθειαν (pros alētheian) is a stock idiom in Greek meaning "truthfully" or "in actuality", as opposed to appearances or what's purported.
So, what the line actually means is something like, "they practically worship them as gods (even if they technically don't think they become gods until they're dead).
Now, why Darius is the exception is unclear. There's a bias against Cambyses in Egyptian sources1 that did not extend to Darius. Cambyses was particularly hostile to Egyptian religion, but Darius promoted religious tolerance and pluralism. Perhaps Diodorus is echoing propaganda or other exaggerations in the text that exalt Darius, who was keen on issuing his legitimacy after his usurpation of the throne. It's not quite clear.
