In TinyMCE 3 you can use theme_advanced_toolbar_location = 'external'
in mce settings, making a class=mceExternalToolbar element.
However, there doesn't seem to be an exact equivalent for TinyMCE 4. Am I missing something, or is an external toolbar that sticks to top when scrolling down, not easily doable in TinyMCE 4?
In TinyMCE 3, "theme_advanced_toolbar_location" is a theme option of the "advanced" theme, which is one of the official themes(the other is simple, you can see these 2 themes in folder tiny_mce\themes)
But in TinyMCE 4, there's no "advanced" theme, but a "modern" theme as the default one, with this theme, there's an "inline" option, which is the equivalent of the old "external".
tinymce.init({
//this will make the toolbar "external"
inline : true,
//.....
});

Had the same issue. Yes, there is a simple solution but it just didn't seem to come up in any search I did. Eventually found it by accident when looking through the configuration options.
tinymce.init({
inline: true,
fixed_toolbar_container: "#mytoolbar"
});

Both answers helped me get a toolbar on the bottom, but this css will help keep it visible all the time.
/* make sure toolbar doesn't get hidden */
#toolbar > .mce-tinymce {
display: block !important;
}
CSS ONLY SOLUTION
If you can use flexbox and only need to swap position you can use the following with respective prefixes to get the toolbar on the bottom:
.mce-tinymce > .mce-container-body {
display: flex !important;
flex-direction: column-reverse;
}
