Destroying a Pillager Outpost does not necessarily mean that the Pillagers will stop spawning, as they can continue to spawn in a 71x71x71 cube centered on the outpost, even if the tower is destroyed and the surface is waterlogged. To permanently clear a Pillager Outpost, you need to kill all the Pillagers, drink a bucket of milk to purge Bad Omen, and cover or remove all grass and sand blocks in the area, which Pillagers can spawn on regardless of light level.
