I have tested that same scenario. I have Deco mesh in AP mode. I powered off ISP Router and rebooted Main Deco. While ISP router is down, Main Deco provides IP addresses in the range 192.168.68.* with DHCP lease time of 1 minute.
When I turn ISP Router back on, network recovers very rapidly and seamlessly.
If your network needs longer to recover or does not recover at all, when authoritative DHCP server comes back online and Main Deco yields to it, there may be something else going on with your network. You may wish to take a look, or even simulate an outage and see what IP addresses your devices are getting, with what DHCP lease time, and why they can't recover quickly.
