Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked DCF77 transmitter projects and the ESPHome feature-request context. Define the component boundaries and supported time sources for ESP8266 or ESP32; done means a documented DCF77 RF transmitter integration can generate a signal from SNTP, GPS, or Home Assistant.
