No, there is currently no such option.

Not verifying the server credentials at all is not an option, as it
allows an active attacker to act as your gateway, play the
Man-In-The-Middle game.

If you are running a mutual EAP method (SIM and AKA actually are), the
client authenticates the server within EAP. There is a resurrected
internet draft [1] which omits public key authentication in such cases.
However, we currently do not implement this extension.
