It would be more clear if you tell, what you want to do instead of what you do not want to do.
If you start with a usual cost matrix (whatever cost function you have) and you have to assign N to N this reduces to the well-known Munkre’s algorithm (see for example: http://gallery.rcpp.org/articles/minimal-assignment/). If you have to assign M to N, it is an extended version of the Munkre’s algorithm which has been covered by Bourgeois and Lassalle (1971). All this is graph theory.
