When a fence post rots off at the soil line, with a few feet left underground, I know of two ways to get it out to make room the new one. One, drive the sharp end of a pick into the buried post and pry it up. Or, use your post hold digger (I know you have one) to dig a hole next to the buried post section and push the butt toward the new hole to lift it out.
Ta Dah.
