Is each other the correct spelling or can it also be used as eachother?

Each other is correct. Eachother is never used.

"each other" doesn't exist, except for the fact that in spoken English the two words may sound like only one word.

ALWAYS!  Oh, yes.  There is no case of the use of "each other".  Not one instance of it in the entire Library of Congress, for example.  I had forgotten that!     


Silly me!
