He had been deluded and poisoned mentally and spiritually by saroun via the palantir.
In addition, he knew, I believe, this 'ranger of the north ' was the warrior fromerly known as Thorongil. He was already ill-disposed toward Aragorn/Arnor and prideful far before he became Steward. So I think had he survived there are 2 likely scenarios: he would still have killed himself, perhaps more privately, after breaking the staff of the stewards on his knee and castigating the Gondorians... or he would have left in a snit, bitter and still likely to kill himself or go the way of saruman. Perhaps he would have journeyed to Rauros and said farewell to Boromir and jumped. It is pretty much impossible to see Denethor receive healing from Aragorn or anyone.

I think Denethor would've ended up being killed anyway. I doubt highly that he would want to survive, because he looked into the palantir and saw what he thought to be the end of his family line, and of Gondor
