Maybe you want:

    \score{
        \notes\relative c{

            %hmm, this doesn't work, but we now have pushproperty!
            %\property Voice."default-neutral-direction" = #-1

            \pushproperty #'(basicStemProperties)
                #'default-neutral-direction #-1
            \clef bass; d4.( e8 fis4 )d
        }
    }

Lily has no way to make smart decisions for stem directions based
on context (yet).

Greetings,
Jan.
