I think I've used Autostarts and Greenify in the past. The latter
doesn't stop autostarting, it can just put specific apps to sleep which
would probably work in your case.

The thing is, if it's not in your phone already, this kind of app needs
root. Do you have root? Although it looks like some functions in
Greenify work without root.
