I set up housekeeping underground for now and created a diamond mine, only to discover that there is a pillager outpost nearby.
I can kill off all the pillagers (or at least most of them at one time) but how do I stop them from respawning? What happens if I start mining or burning down the pillager tower?
I don't know what triggers the spawning, so be prepared to accept that it's based on the structure location and not some piece of it that you can tear down. This is how it is for ocean monuments, which is the only place where guardians can spawn.
The Wiki claims they spawn up to 35 blocks from the outpost (in a 71 X 71 X 71 block cube), it's likely that covering the area with water or slabs or spamming torches could stop them spawning.
Randomly spawning patrols on the other hand can spawn anywhere.
You can tear down the pillager tower and they will still spawn. Your best option to stop them spawning would be to spawn proof the area around the tower. As others have said, this is a 71x71x71 cube around the tower.

Just testing.

Flooding the whole area (including the watchtower) and that should stop pillagers from spawning.
