Not without hacking the source, I'm afraid.
Question to lyx-devel: is "plain text" supposed to produce ASCII? If so, we
need to separate displayString() and asciiString() in InsetQuote.
Having an unicode export and an ascii export is fine. Going ascii-only
from what we have is a huge regression. Non-english languages tend to
have more than ascii in the text itself, and of course we want to keep
the text intact even with an export that loose all
formatting/images/formulas.
If quotes is the only problem, take a look at the dialog for selecting
quote styles. There are many options there. Perhaps a "ascii-only" style
could be added there, and solve this particular problem. It could have
"double" and 'single' quotes using ascii.
