Yes it's possible. But it's not supported out of the box, you would need to modify the code to update the publication address without storing the dsm. 
 I think the easiest way to do this is that you access the transport layer directly and send the message in raw instead of using the access layer and model. You can have a look at packet_tx() function inside access.c . Inside that function we use nrf_mesh_packet_send() to send the message. You can do the same and modify the tx_params.dst as you wish.

 So you have the Mesh part working: You know what to do to turn the lights on & off - so all you need is to get your internet stuff to do that!
