inside handle worn out, lets the outside normally horizontal handle drop verticallly. will replacing inside handle with the 40-150 resolve outside handle positioning?

Yes, I believe it should. For this kind of door, the exterior handle almost never has the spring action. That's handled entirely by the interior lever.
That means that if you have a "droopy" storm door handle, replacing the interior handle by itself will usually fix the issue. No need to replace the entire handle set when only one component is broken!
