Inside journalctl, OutputMode is only set from external input via the -o CLI
option.
Going by these facts, it seems like there is no way to archieve what you want
just with journalctl.
If that's correct, there are 2 simple alternatives:
* alias journalctl='journalctl -o foo'
* Put a journalctl wrapper into a directory that is at the head of $PATH:
#!/bin/sh
exec /usr/sbin/journalctl -o foo "$@"
