You can’t. Even when Firefox with uBO is your default browser and any other app just uses Firefox as the built-in browser, Google News will resort to Chrome.
For me (on Firefox non-beta) it just opens the in-app browser and shoves ads down my throat. I just checked it, Chrome is disabled and cannot be uninstalled on my phone.
When I have a page opened in the Google News App, I can tap the menu and select to open the web page from there. Then it gets opened in Firefox.
It will open Firefox or whatever your default browser is if you delete chrome or freeze it.
I’ve tried this solution and it doesn’t work. Chrome is running within the Google News app. Even if you modify Chrome on your phone to have adblockers, the version of the browser that Google News opens is unmodified.

It won’t open the usual webpage though, it will open and create a new tab in the browser, at least that is the behavior that I face with Firefox Beta.
