So how will Toyotarō ever find a way to end the Black Frieza saga and put the Super manga to a official close?

Assuming that Toriyama didn't write an outline for how Black Freeza's storyline ends, the obvious answer is that the various parties involved with the rights regarding the series will come to a conclusion that they agree with and then execute that conclusion.

Black Freeza was introduced two years before Toriyama's passing, so Toyotaro likely has an idea about where Toriyama was going with that story line; it's just a matter of getting the manga off the ground again and connecting those plot points. I personally don't think they would've announced an adaption of Moro unless they were sure the manga was given the OK to continue, so I think it's only a matter of time before it's made public.

I agree, but then at the same time, it's not unthinkable that the anime just covers Moro and Granolah and then writes its own conclusion thereafter. I can see either outcome happening at this point.

Given how Iyoku Akio seems to have nothing to do with Shueisha anymore—especially given how much he has pissed them off—I assume that this is what is going to happen. I won't be surprised at all if the animated adaption doesn't follow the manga, but rather story outlines that Toriyama wrote for Moro and Granola.

Iyoko and Toei would not be able to animate Moro and Granola without Shueisha's approval, so whatever was going on behind the scenes have been resolved. I do however agree that changes and additions will be made to these two arcs, but it won't be because of any behind the scenes issues, as those are resolved. With that said, it may be more of a "we all like $$$, so let's put our differences aside", rather than them being friends with each other.
