Ok, I found a solution simply by using another way of exiting the edit
buffer: instead of using 'C-c #' (server-edit) I can use 'C-u C-x C-c'

| With prefix ARG, silently save all file-visiting buffers, then kill.

which not only exits without querying, but returns the focus to the
commandline of the calling external program, exactly what I want:

Thanks for the help.
