Well, it seems it's failing because it tries to enable the php7.3

If it were me, I would attempt to purge this package (not just remove),
and then reinstall it.
The --reinstall should have handled that.
If purging fails because of a2enmod being unable to find the module
and manipulate it in various ways, then it might be necessary to
short-circuit the prerm/postinst/etc. scripts so that they do nothing,
just so you can purge everything.
The normal way to do that with a prerm or postinst script is to stick
"exit 0" near the top of it.
That would be a good approach.
