Do you mean that when I create a function an implicit "grant execute on
function" is done? If so, we would have to do a revoke with each grant. Or,
do you mean there is a public grant to "execute any function" that I can
just remove when I create the database (and if so, how?)

Yes, it is, because the default for functions is to grant PUBLIC EXECUTE
access. Revoke that if you don't want it.
