That's absolutelty possible. You just need to enable gossip
./run_electrum setconfig use_gossip True

You can also disable trampoline in the GUI on desktop and Android, just uncheck "Use Trampoline" in the Settings.
Gossip has the downside that it takes quite some time to sync and has ~100mb, so Trampoline is usually better UX if you just want to open the wallet and pay a invoice quickly.
