I would like to have a long title in tikzposter and have tried to introduce a newline within the \title{} command using \\ and \newline but it does not start a new line. In the old tikzposter class I think that long titles were split among several lines by default. I will be glad to know about any workaround for displaying long titles on several lines in the new tikzposter class.

I would not recommend abusing the feynmf package. In the past I have used the picture environment (with the eepic package) to do precisely this.
Table 6.2 in page 185 of these lecture notes (PDF file), I typeset the Dynkin diagrams using the picture environment. I'm happy to make the code available. Here's a sample for the $A_n$ Dynkin diagram:
\begin{picture}(50,7)
\multiput(5,1)(10,0){5}{\circle{2}}
\multiputlist(10,1)(10,0)%
{{\line(1,0){8}},{\line(1,0){8}},{$\cdots$},{\line(1,0){8}}}
\multiputlist(5,3)(10,0){$\scriptscriptstyle 1$,%
$\scriptscriptstyle 2$,$\scriptscriptstyle 3$,%
$\scriptscriptstyle \ell{-}1$,$\scriptscriptstyle \ell$}
\end{picture}
The diagram is decorated with a labelling of the nodes, by the way.
After issuing
\geometry{paperwidth=42in, paperheight=60in}
you have to recalculate \TP@visibletextwidth and \TP@visibletextheight. So, after that line, add
\makeatletter
\setlength{\TP@visibletextwidth}{\textwidth-2\TP@innermargin}
\setlength{\TP@visibletextheight}{\textheight-2\TP@innermargin}
\makeatother
MWE:
\RequirePackage[demo]{graphicx} % remove this line in your document
\documentclass[17pt, a0paper, landscape]{tikzposter}
\geometry{paperwidth=42in, paperheight=60in}
\makeatletter
\setlength{\TP@visibletextwidth}{\textwidth-2\TP@innermargin}
\setlength{\TP@visibletextheight}{\textheight-2\TP@innermargin}

The problem is that
tikzposterputs the title inside a\scaleboxthus preventing line breaks. You can recover line breaking placing your title inside a\parbox:
