Assuming I Overlord a Crown to crown a Black Market and buy a Mint or a Mandarin. Is Black Market still played a second time although Overlord has left play and is no Crown anymore?

The BM is indeed played a second time.  Overlord and Band of Misfits do not stop following the instructions of the Action card that they had become simply because they have stopped being it.  Indeed if in your example you had TRed the Overlord, then on the second play of the Overlord (with it now either in the trash or back on your deck and hence once again an Overlord rather than a Crown) you would be free to select any Action card up to a cost of 5 for the Overlord to be and the instructions of that Action card would be followed even though the Overlord immediately reverts to being an Overlord because it is not in play.

In general, unless a card has a "while this is in play" effect, a card leaving play for any reason does not stop any of its effects from happening. All of the effects are "set up" on play. This is more intuitive when you think of cards like Feast. Even though you trash Feast, you still gain a card costing up to $5.

The less obvious consequence is durations. If you play Fishing Village, then trash it with Bonfire, you still get the bonuses next turn.

Bazaarly, if you Bonfire a Lighthouse, you'll still get +$1 next turn, but no protection from Attacks between turns.
