When you say myth you mean Eberron has an actual origin that differs from what the inhabitants believe? With fantasy, in-world myths and history get blurred. It’s a myth. It could be literally true. Perhaps three godlike beings created the world and fought, but they weren’t actually dragons and Eberron didn’t literally become the world. Like the Sovereigns, hype ultimate truth is up to the DM.

Its a myth that explains many things about the world. The underworld is a source of horrors, bound within the natural world. Magic flows from the Ring of Siberys. It’s a curiously universal myth. But it is a myth—possibly true, possibly metaphor.

You know more than me. You’re it’s creator. I have made grave mistakes in my 15 yr long Eberron campaign I must ponder. Much to do. Thanks for the info. You haven’t made any mistakes! The final decision is up to the DM: you made that decision and explored the consequences. That IS the right answer.
