This could work "in-a-pipe" and should convert a paletted gdal output file into a 1bit file without color table just IrfanView does.

Andreas,

I do not know of a commandline tool for doing this that isn't going
to lose the georeferencing.  It would however be fairly easy to
write a small Python script using GDAL to strip the color table.
Let me know if you need me to prepare an example.

Best regards,
