Believe it or not, yes. They’ve fought.
Before I begin though, it’s worth noting that Trigon is NOT the Satan or Devil of the DC Universe. There are multiple “devils” in the DCU, one of which is indeed Satan or the fallen angel, Lucifer.
Anyway…
In DC’s New 52 “Futures End” event, the Phantom Stranger is called to a new the Council of Eternity to face final judgement. The Council is formed of the most despicable and terrible foes the Stranger’s ever condemned on behalf of his master, the Presence.
Of the Council is its head, Trigon.
Failing to accomplish their duty in it’s eyes, the Presence appears in front of the Council to deliver divine wrath upon them. This occurs “off-page,” however presumably ended with the Presence victorious as he then remarks about forming “another” Council of Eternity to the Stranger.
Unfortunately for those who wish this was canon, it is not. Rather, “Futures End” was an offshoot of the mainstream DC timeline at that point.
Long story short he never did survive fighting the presence
