Copying from the definition for org-publish-org-to-html:

#+BEGIN_SRC: emacs-lisp

(defun org-publish-org-to-ascii (plist filename pub-dir)
  "Publish an org file to ASCII.
See `org-publish-org-to' to the list of arguments."
  (org-publish-with-aux-preprocess-maybe
    (org-publish-org-to "ascii" plist filename pub-dir)))

#+END_SRC

you can even use "utf8" instead of "ascii".

Then use the newly defined org-publish-org-to-ascii as the
:publishing-function in your publish project.

Not tested, you try it :-)
