Normally, you would use the command-line option '-I -{module}' to disable the initialisation of a particular MIB module within the agent. Unfortunately, it's not currently possible to turn off SMUX support this way.

The safest approach is to re-run configure with the option "--with-out-mib-modules=smux", and recompile the agent. If this is not possible, an alternative workaround might be to have the agent bind to an invalid IP address.

If you put a line such as

       smuxsocket  1.0.0.0

in the snmpd.conf file, the agent will whinge at startup, but won't accept any incoming SMUX requests.

If the agent complains about not recognising the "smuxsocket" token, then you're out of luck. You'll either have to recompile from source, or use local firewall rules to block connections to port 199.
