Can be disabled and enabled trackpoints too in the same time with the touchpad when a mouse is present?
Can be added a settings to allow trackpoints state changes too?
My local workaround.
I have a Lenovo T590 laptop which have a trackpoint device on the keyboard, between G, H and B keys.
I modified locally the touchpad.py to identify the trackpoint too as a touchpad device to be disabled when a mouse it is plugged. I added a new key (trackpoint) into the TOUCHPADS array.

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 Touchpad Indicator version: 2.2.1-0extras19.04.0
Before (/usr/share/touchpad-indicator/touchpad.py)
TOUCHPADS = ['touchpad', 'glidepoint', 'fingersensingpad',...
After (/usr/share/touchpad-indicator/touchpad.py)
TOUCHPADS = ['touchpad', 'trackpoint', 'glidepoint', 'fingersensingpad',...
I attached on file xinput_outputs.txt outputs for commands:
I attached an image with the trackpoint for a better understanding the situation.
