No, unfortunately not. An ifdown event is only generated when the 
interface has already been up:

https://git.lede-project.org/?p=project/netifd.git;a=blob;f=interface.c;h=593b0490c85d8cc30dd338979aaea6b560e50866;hb=HEAD#l269

So, in a situation where a interface can't be established (e.g. wrong 
username/password) there won't be any event.
