I have renovated the living room and added a layer of renovation plasterboard on one wall. The existing frame remains and looks nice, but I'm a bit unsure about how to handle the bottom part.

How do I best solve the joint between the frame and the plasterboard?

Simply fill with wood filler and paint? Or is there a better method? There will be a windowsill on the outside with a small gap for air from the radiator below.

I would have made a windowsill in MDF and extended it a maximum of 20mm beyond the wall surface.
You can glue it on to avoid the screw heads. :)
 
After actually reading more carefully, I changed my mind and would just glue a strip of thin MDF to align with the outside plaster, then put on the windowsill.

Use a moderately thin MDF, like 6mm.
But then the joint will end up between the MDF and plasterboard at the front edge instead? But maybe it's easier to hide anyway.

Just apply wood filler and paint? Or is there a better method? There will be a window ledge on top with some space for air from the radiator below.

Are you going there with a windowsill with loose brackets? If so, I would probably go with @hanbch's suggestion with molding and touch up the existing reveal with lacquer paint.

It looks like it could be quite tricky to get a custom-cut MDF board/reveal board there.
