If I understand well the plainto_tsquery behaviour, this query match with:

Despite this, the president went out.
Despite the event, this question arise.

i.e., if "this" is not inside the stopwords list, the query is translated to:
SELECT id FROM document WHERE to_tsvector('english',text) @@
to_tsquery('english','despite & this');

It searches for documents which include "despite" and "this", and not for
ones which have the expression "despite this".

I have made some tests and they confirm my explanations.

Thank you anyway.

Any other solution?
