From my past experiences, upgrade to full priced licenses is the only way.
As you mentioned the BttC1 promo is deprecated and not available anymore for purchase and customer would also not be eligible for the BttC2 promo as that's only for on-premises to Cloud.
I've asked this same question a couple of times to MS support to assist customers to retain their promo discount while upgrading or moving towards other other resellers. Their answers were clear that there's no alternative and the customer can only get full priced licenses to replace them.
