I'm a bit confused about this. Will they receive transaction fees as a reward? What difficulty will be present if all BTC are already in circulation and nothing is there for mining?
On blockchain, the chart indicates 16 million (16,000,000) BTC is rewarded and are held by individuals.

Thanks!  Smiley
Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

please use the search function, it'll result in a list looking like this one:
https://cse.google.com/cse?cx=016660200577587308545%3Aesf40ml9aag&ie=UTF-8&q=what+if+all+bitcoin+is+mined&sa=Google+search#gsc.tab=0&gsc.q=what%20if%20all%20bitcoin%20is%20mined&gsc.page=1

To answer your question: yes: if the block reward goes to 0 satoshi's, the miners will keep mining for the fees. It's possible the diff will drop because miners turn off some machines, leaving more blocks and more fees for the leftover miners
