I haven't followed this, so the use case is not clear to me.
But if the OP wants highlighting that will be present whether
font-locking is on or off then font-lock is not the answer (!),
including its use of `font-lock-face'.
That text property just gives font-lock more control, not less.
And `hi-lock.el' just uses font-lock to do its job, so it too
is no escape from control by font-lock-mode.
If you want highlighting that is independent of font-lock then
you might give library `highlight.el' a try. It lets you
highlight using text properties or overlay properties, and the
highlighting can be independent of font-lock (or not - au choix).
If you want to be able to tell font-lock "hands off", i.e., to
ignore particular text, you can alternatively use text property
`font-lock-ignore'. For that, see library `font-lock+.el'.
