I don't understand how \override Slur #'stencil = ##f can solve any
problems, since you have to insert the corresponding beams manually to
get the correct melisma. Why not use your text editor to replace each (
by a [ and each ) by a ] ? This, combined with \autoBeamOff, will give
the desired beams, absence of slurs and melismas.
If you want to do the setting corresponding to \autoBeamOff for the full
file, just add
\layout{
\context{
\Score
autoBeaming = ##f
}
}
at the top of the file.

That is *not* modern practice... I would *strongly* recommend that
you try to convince your editor to use modern practice (i.e., beaming
to the beat, slurring for melismas), which is the current standard,
not least of all because it's significantly easier for singers to read.
However, if you can't convince your editor to get into the 20th
(never mind 21st) Century... ;)
Sorry, no chance - "this is common practice since Bach, and I as a
seasoned choir leader" yadda yadda...
He's very much convinced that his "standard" is much easier to read
for singers (it's becoming a songbook); in my choir and folk singer
experience it isn't, but anyway...
Is there a global setting for that?
I know \autoBeamOn/Off (works only within a voice) and \override
Slur #'stencil = ##f
But this way there would be a horrendous amount of tweaking - are
there better ways?
The docs at
<http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.13/Documentation/notation/Aligning-lyrics-to-a-melody#Aligning-lyrics-to-a-melody>
have lots of related tweaks and tips — once you've completely
(re-)read it, come back to the list with specific questions.
Thank you, so there's no general setup?
I defined some shortcuts for the slur tweaks, use manual beaming, will
perhaps use \melisma additionally and continue to dispair.
If I switched off slurs using
\override Slur #'stencil = ##f
how do I enable it again without warnings?
\override Slur #'stencil = ##t
does work, but issues an error (#t is no stencil)
