If a novel is written in first person, does the epilogue have to be written in first person too?

No
Explanation:
I can imagine several situations where a novel written in the first person would have an epilogue written in the third person.
One such example would be if the novel were a diary and the epilogue explained how the diary had been found many years later.
The novel might end with the imminent death of the writer; the epilogue might confirm that death.
