Is it normal practice to have the ASI use cockpit static and to disconnect
the external static vents, due to ASI errors when dumping water?

No


Except IIRC some are equipped with a panel switch to do so during dumping.
Normally not!

A switch is also common in some older gliders notorious for sucking water into
the statics during dump (LS-3, LS-4 come to mind).
