Is there any configuration/setting or any other support that will let me choose if the attributes can be enclosed in single quote.

Such control is out of scope for the Recommendation and would only be available as a processor extension ... and I doubt you would find any processor that offers it.

In other words, it's not really an XSLT question.

A processor could be written to do it (and one might even implement a brute-force serializer in XSLT that could do it), but care would have to be taken against emitting attribute values containing single quotes....

I take it the recipient of the data knows that by requiring XML with only single quotes used as attribute value delimiters, they are asking for XML-that-is-not-XML?
