You dont need to tinker with the costmap parameters. You can achieve that behavior if you set the following parameters in your move_base.launch:

<param name="controller_patience" value="0.0" />
<param name="planner_frequency" value="0.0" />

<param name="recovery_behavior_enabled" value="false" />
<param name="clearing_rotation_allowed" value="false" />

This means that once a collision is detected, the local planner will abort the navigation immediately because a valid control could not be found and no recovery behaviors will be executed. Also the global planner will only run when a new goal is received.
You can check move_base for more information on the parameters.
