Can this setting be changed for an existing TM or should I create a new TM for that purpose?
Yes, you can, but segmentation is the first thing that Trados do with your file. It means that you have to rebuild both sdlxliff files, source and target. If you only delete the target file alone and run the 'Prepare without project TM' batch task, it won't work because the source file has already been segmented with the previous segmentation rules. You have to remove it too. To this effect, follow these steps:
1. Change the existing segmenting TM settings (top TM in the list) to paragraph based segmentation.
2. Remove the sdlxliff files from both target and source panes — you can do it by switching the country banner icon on the left-hand pane. If you first switch to the source banner and remove the file there, this action will also remove the target sdlxliff too.
3. Drag and drop the same xliff file from Smartcat into Trados and run the 'Prepare without project TM' batch task. Or use the 'Add file' command (as far as I remember it runs the 'Prepare without project TM' batch task automatically).
*Update: If you don't want to change the behaviour of your existing TM for other projects, probably you can create a blank TM for that Smartcat-dedicated project and put it at the beginning of the TM list to use it for segmentation only while using other existing TM(s) for translation matches.
