There's normally a small jam cleat to hold the leech line and it sounds as though that it what is broken; it should be a simple job for a sailmaker to replace.
Think, too, about other ways of tensioning the leech: you've tried sheeting in harder but applying more kicker may also help. And don't overlook the obvious - make sure that your topping lift is not still under tension and preventing the boom being pulled down.
