Unfortunately, Apple team didn't add the feature of turning off the autoboot for M1 Chip MacBook(s) although it was there in Intel Chip MacBook(s) partially. You have to wait until any new update comes for M1 Chip which includes turning off the autoboot.

Otherwise, you can't simply disable for now.
