Is it grammatically correct to say They lived ever happily after?

It is basically wrong, because ever after is an inseparable phrase if it is to keep its meaning. If, however, ever is to modify the adverb happily, then the sentence could be corrected by making after into afterward(s) or a synonymous construction. Thus:
They lived ever happily afterward(s) and They lived ever happily (from then) on are some grammatically correct (albeit awkward) alternatives. Of course, these do not have the same meaning as the famous sentence They lived happily ever after.
