I do not believe that the A6m design would be mature enough in Sept 1940 - it was only just ready for front line service in Dec 1941
Production numbers in Sept 1940 were in single figures (9 being built that month with a total of 98 being built by end of 1940)
Also while very manoeuvrable - this was at the expense of Self sealing fuel tanks, Cockpit armour - among other things found on German Aircraft of the time - making if horribly vulnerable to the 8 x Vickers-Browning MG armament found on the British fighters of the day.
And the elephant in the room - fighter commands Air Defence Network - I'm not sure that a change in principle Luftwaffe fighter would make that big a difference
