I needed to hold an external function reference in an object instance (if I assigned it to an attribute, it was converted into an instance method).

No, that only happens to functions stored in *class* attributes,
not instance attributes.

>>> class A:
...    pass
...
>>> a = A()
>>>
>>> def f():
...    print("I'm just a function")
...
>>> a.x = f
>>> a.x()
I'm just a function
