I am not sure I understand your question. If you are assumeing that the Moreh
Tzedik is the one who founded the community, then that is an error. CD seems
to imply that the people seperated and then the G-d provided the Moreh Tzedik.
As to the Moreh Tzedik and MMT I do not find him mentioned there at all. There
has been speculation that he was the author, but if he is not mentioned there
at all then I see no reason why that has to be the case.

Since 'Moreh' means 'teacher' I don't see what you are trying to claim as
having any basis.
