Vivec still held it up after the heart was smashed and after when Vivec vanished the Ministry of Truth was actually kept in the air using captured souls for power (very WH40k). It fell when someone attempted to rescue one of the people about to be used as fuel, this all happened in one of the TES novels no one's read.

I think Vivec was a jerk but after living so long regretted it thats why he helped the Nerevarine (in doing so lost most of his power) and then exiled himself, that goes with what i remember from Morrowind (but it was a long time ago). You have a good point about maybe lowering the Ministry safely before he went if he did actually exile himself he may have been force to go or killed though given that he no longer had the power from the heart.
