Does anyone know why the Dallas MCU DS80C400 is no longer in production while the less powerful DS80C320 is still in production?

no idea, the fact is that from time to time chip manufacturers discover that some circuits are “obsolete” and stop production. A few weeks ago I was looking for a dual 4-bit latch with tri-state output. It exists as 74ALS873, manufactured by Texas Instruments. This is a very useful circuit. Now also discontinued. :(
