I wasn't aware that Jiraiya knew of the Mangekyo Sharingan and it's abilities especially Itachi's. He never experienced any of them, all he saw in part 1 were black flames after Kisame/Itachi escaped and didn't see Tsukyomi being used on Sasuke. He was perplexed and when discussing Sasuke's encounter with Itachi all he mentioned was a dojutsu. Now that I hink about it, it seems peculiar that Kakashi knew about Amaterasu when Hinata mentioned black flames in the forest when he only experienced Tsukyomi, the Mangekyo was supposed to be rare even among Uchihas. I'm surprised you're so blind to the obvious: JIRAIYA told Kakashi about Amaterasu. And similarly, Kakashi would have shared his experience of Tsukuyomi to Konoha. Actually, didn't he do exactly that while he was hospitalised for one whole week after getting pawned by Tsukuyomi? Why would Kakashi and Jiraiya keep such vital info to themselves? It's quite clear that they shared the info, seeing as how Danzo knew both about Amaterasu as well as Tsukuyomi's ability to change the victim's perception of time. As such, it is more than likely that Jiraiya knew about Tsukuyomi before his death.
