Three points.
1. the other end should resend RR73 in that case, if that operator really
requires 73 for this QSO. If he sends another message e.g. CQ or a message
to another station, then it is highly likely that he logged your QSO or just
gave up.
2. 73 is not a mandatory message at all.
3. not all contests use that rule.

How can I be sure that the other end received the final 73 message?

This question is particularly important in contests since if you log a QSO
and the other station doesn't, you usually actually lose points from your
score.
