I looked at what stem does in this area [1].
It uses the more accurate name "ed25519_master_key" instead of Ed25519 ID
and contains the above mentioned base64 encoded Ed25519 public master key 
so I assume this is the canonical format since I didn't see any other representation.

base64 encoding (parts of) the ed25519_master_id_public_key
file, provides the same output as in master-key-ed25519 descriptor lines
but I didn't find a spec for that key file to confirm the try and error approach
or a tor command to simply output the ed25519_master_key public key in base64 format.

kind regards,

These are the file paths I would suggest for the well-known registry:
.well-known/tor-relay/rsa-fingerprints
.well-known/tor-relay/ed25519-pubkeys
