You have to change your application, you can't run VACUUM inside a
transaction, a function or a multicommand string. That is not adjustable
in the config.

The error did not come from autovacuum, so by disabling it you have not
fixed anything.  I suggest you turn it back on (unless you have a good
plan for vacuuming), and fix your application code instead.
