Do you have research about this? When I searched in the past, my references showed that regardless of engagement, npcs would despawn according to time.

I think that is mixing up two things: NPCs that spawn on their own - like Raster of Guk - do indeed despawn at the end of their window. But for triggered NPCs I never heard of a despawn while engaged. With the possible exception of the triggered mobs in PoSky, after 8 hours or so (thinking of Bzazzt Isle).
Also, the seeker (trigger npc) despawns at 9pm game time (possibly at 10pm). As you can see from my log below, the plasmatic priest despawned completely unrelated to that event about 2-3 game hours later, around 12am.

The statue begins to emit a reddish glow then shatters in a burst of a fire and smoke! The flames in the plasmatic priest's eyes vanish with the explosion and only madness remains! 'The Triumvirate thinks that destroying my spirit of flame will stop me?!! I will kill you all now, the goblins will continue to war, and when my spirit is restored I will ensure that Ixiblat Fer consumes all of Norrath in his flames!!'

The fight lasted pretty much exactly 10 minutes when he despawned without a message...
