I don't find a way to save datasource without applying. Regarding your scenario, if you don't have the access to your customer's SQL Server, even you can save the datasource change, your gateway still has no access to the database. So maybe you can send the designed PBIX to your customer, and they publish it and set their own gateway for refreshing purpose.
