How to disable copy and paste from Mail to other applications

Are there MDM or policy that can limit copy and paste? Using MDM or ACU to lockdown the phone would be completely useless in regards to preventing data leakage unless copy/paste can be controlled. MDM provider is advising that there is no API from Apple to allow locking this function.

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.0.3

No. Not that I'm aware of. If you're that worried about people being able to copy and paste from email messages and having confidential data get 'into the wild' that way, then maybe you shouldn't be issuing or permitting the use of smart phones.
