A turbulence/load factor-induced jet upset and loss of aerodynamic control with possible engine-flameout is a far, far more likely scenario given conditions at the time and place. Data showing autopilot disengagement and reversion to Alternate Law would also lend credence to that scenario, and possibly exacerbate the situation given the altitude, weight, and q-corner buffet boundaries. No crew would be thinking about (or possibly capable of) radio communication during attempts at recovering from such an event while still experiencing those outside, severe conditions.
Your theory would be the very last thing I'd suspect and there is absolutely no evidence to suggest it, and promoting it smacks of speculative sensationalism. The aircraft wasn't cuising in a benign environement when it was lost. In fact, the enviroment just prior and during the time frame was extremely dynamic in a potentially dangerous (convective) way. Check the met summary and you'll find actual evidence of that.
