The "completion" of his death was impressive, but Darkseid wasn't anywhere close to being at his best. I believe Superman effectively eradicated his physical form, but seeing as the New Gods are metaphysical concepts and how Darkseid, imho, was going to return through Dr. Hurt, I don't believe Superman actually nullified him from existence.
Like Orion, DS was bound to die. They are not embodiment{s}. They are subject to death like Black Racer said. Superman killed him
After the singing, Superman went to activate the MM and wish for a happy ending. IF that happy included having a chance for DS to comeback so be it, but at that point in time, DS died to Superman
