This is false. UDG did not abolish resignation, and in several places anticipates and foresees the possibility of future resignations:
“The current rules for electing the Roman Pontiff are those issued by Pope John Paul II in the docuмent Universi Dominici Gregis (UDG), modified by a Motu Proprio docuмent of Pope Benedict XVI. The former docuмent, UDG, mentions resignation twice:
Footnote 12 in UDG cites Canon law:
And UDG mentions resignation a second time:
In other places, the docuмent speaks of the “vacancy” of the office, which includes either death or valid resignation.”

This quote you provided from UDG further makes my case:
77. I decree that the dispositions concerning everything that precedes the election of the Roman Pontiff and the carrying out of the election itself must be observed in full, even if the vacancy of the Apostolic See should occur as a result of the resignation of the Supreme Pontiff….It states that "dispositions concerning everything that precedes the election" (which includes death, funeral, and burial of the previous Pontiff) "must be observed in full." And these "dispositions" must be "observed in full"
even if the "vacancy of the Apostolic See" occurs "as a result of the resignation of the Supreme Pontiff."
This means that the Supreme Pontiff can "resign" but a resignation does not abrogate the required "dispositions." Again, these "dispositions" include the funeral mass and burial of the previous Pope.
The case where the Pope has resigned but it not yet dead is dealt with in the first few sections of UDG:
---------------
1.
During the vacancy of the Apostolic See, the College of Cardinals has no power or jurisdiction in matters which pertain to the Supreme Pontiff during his lifetime or in the exercise of his office; such matters are to be reserved completely and exclusively to the future Pope.
I therefore declare null and void any act of power or jurisdiction pertaining to the Roman Pontiff during his lifetime or in the exercise of his office which the College of Cardinals might see fit to exercise, beyond the limits expressly permitted in this Constitution.
2. During the vacancy of the Apostolic See, the government of the Church is entrusted to the College of Cardinals solely for the dispatch of ordinary business and of matters which cannot be postponed (cf. No. 6), and for the preparation of everything necessary for the election of the new Pope. This task must be carried out in the ways and within the limits set down by this Constitution: consequently, those matters are to be absolutely excluded which, whether by law or by practice, come under the power of the Roman Pontiff alone or concern the norms for the election of the new Pope laid down in the present Constitution.
3. I further establish that the College of Cardinals may make no dispositions whatsoever concerning the rights of the Apostolic See and of the Roman Church, much less allow any of these rights to lapse, either directly or indirectly, even though it be to resolve disputes or to prosecute actions perpetrated against these same rights after the death or valid resignation of the Pope.12 All the Cardinals are obliged to defend these rights.
4. During the vacancy of the Apostolic See, laws issued by the Roman Pontiffs can in no way be corrected or modified, nor can anything be added or subtracted, nor a dispensation be given even from a part of them, especially with regard to the procedures governing the election of the Supreme Pontiff. Indeed, should anything be done or even attempted against this prescription, by my supreme authority I declare it null and void.
-------------
Assuming that Benedict XVI validly resigned (which is doubtful), a vacancy of the Apostolic See does not, by itself, trigger a new papal election. The actual legal "conditions" or "dispositions" required for a new papal election are listed in UDG itself. And, as I have shown, the primary conditions for such election are the death, funeral, and burial of the previous Pope.
As Section 3 above states, in the situation where a Pope is not yet dead but has validly resigned, the "Cardinals are obliged to defend [the] rights" of "the Apostolic See." Those "rights of the Apostolic See" are spelled out in the Apostolic Constitution
Pastor Bonus and in Canon Law.
But the main thing is that the College of Cardinals cannot call a conclave until the Pope is dead. If he is not dead, the functionaries of the Apostolic See (the Curia) continue to run the Church while the previous Pope is in retirement. But the Curia cannot change Church law during that period. Those officials can only carry out "ordinary business and of matters which cannot be postponed," as stated in UDG section 2, quoted above.
