No, there isn't. Catalyst only emits the response after all the
actions are dispatched. One way you can keep the end action from
running is by not having one. In your case, set up a Controller
without an end action just for authentication. In there, you can set
up Path actions so you don't have to rewrite all the URLs you've
already got in your code:

sub logout : Path('/user/logout'){
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
    $c->logout;
    $c->res->redirect($c->uri_for('/'));
}
