While looking at the source there was an easy fix.

First pass in an additional option which is a string list of the column titles you want excluded.

 $('#export').mdbEditor({
            contentEditor: true,
            disregard_list: ['Type', 'Phone', 'Options'],
        });

Then change this method around to short circuit based on the titles you choose to pass through option.disregard_list

clickOnTd = function (ev) {
                 const focusInput = e => $(e).focus(),
                 $this = $(this),
                 $eTarget = $(ev.target),
                 $dtHeadTitle = $($wrapperEditor.find('thead th')[$DataTable.cell($this).index().column]).text().replace(/\s/g, '').toLowerCase();
               // if title found in disregard list don't do a thing
              if (jQuery.inArray($dtHeadTitle, options.disregard_list) !== -1) {
                        return
              }
            ...
              if (!$this.children().hasClass('mdb-content-dynamic-input')) {
                      $this.html(`${$this.text()} <input type='text' class='form-control mdb-content-dynamic-input' value='${$this.text()}'/> <span class='d-none dynamic-span'>${$this.text()}</span>`);
                        focusInput('.mdb-content-dynamic-input');
                    }

            ...
