You can use
  \override Score.BarNumber #'outside-staff-priority = ##f
(without \once) and all bar numbers will be affected, but then some
may collide with slurs or other objects. Unfortunately as far as i
know there is no way of telling LilyPond "please lower the bar numbers
so they are inside slurs, but don't do this if there is not enough
space under a slur" :/
