Are there any smart workarounds to disable autocorrect automatically — or near automatic — while using an external keyboard on iOS?
By default iOS provides no way to do this as seen here on the Apple forums.

Now in iOS 10 (or perhaps iOS 9) you can set this specifically for your Hardware Keyboard. This setting is ONLY available if you have the keyboard plugged in! Anyway, it's under Settings -> General -> Keyboard -> Hardware Keyboards
