I'd like to point out that autoconfirmed users don't have to have edits on other wikis; in order to be autoconfirmed, you need 10 mainspace edits and your account has to be a few days old. For that reason, I don't think the option to disable anonymous editing would also prevent non-autoconfirmed users from editing, since that would make getting the necessary edits impossible.
