I have found a way to completely toggle-disable the TrackPad (Device Manager -> Human Interface devices -> Apple SPI TrackPad -> right-click -> Disable device

But still have not found a way to make it dependent on my Bluetooth mouse being connected...

If you use more than one pointing device, and it has a power switch, you can turn one device off, while using the other. Built-in trackpads can be turned 'off' using the clamshell mode.

Also, see Can't disable the trackpad on a MacBo… - Apple Community.
