If you click reply to any comment and then click More Options, you will see “don’t auto-format.” But it really means the same thing as “disable auto-formatting.”
But to answer your original questions about if it is possible to get rid of some features and not have the RTE anymore, you might really like the Beta Create Entries page. You can toggle it on or off at dreamwidth.org/beta and if you click the Settings wheel there you can choose which options you want visible on the page when you’re making posts.
