There's a chance that this is a Working as Design, but freezing the time doesn't pauses the Moon Lord spawning.
I didn't tested this other case, but there may be the possibility that speeding up time doesn't makes him spawn faster either.

Can confirm that speeding up time does not make him spawn faster.

Same thing with natural boss spawns(also don’t change it back to night when the boss naturally spawns, like it says you feel evil presence is watching you, wait for it to spawn then change it.

I wonder If you can make the time go so fast, that the boss warn appears and It doesn't ends up spawning because dawned.

Only if it’s a day time only or night time only boss

The distinction is between real-world time and in-game time. Moon Lord spawns after about 1 minute real-world time, so the Journey mode time settings don't affect it.
Bosses that spawn at night appear at a certain in-game time (I think it's 9pm?) so again it doesn't matter how fast (or slow) the time is, it'll still eventually reach 9pm and the boss will spawn. If you turn off enemy spawns or skips ahead to dawn before then, the boss won't spawn.

Hope that makes sense!
