Regarding Elminster: BGT or no BGT, it is an important fact that the "Old Man" that mad=dog has shown to be invincible is a different person than the "Elminster" that Badvok says he killed. It may simply be that the "Old Man" present at the Crossroads and in Beregost are unkillable simply to ensure continuity when "Elminster" shows up in BG City.

Regarding the demonknight: He doesn't engage the tourists in hand-to-hand combat, he simply teleports in, pops off a couple of scripted Fireballs at them, and teleports out. I beat him under standard BG1/ToSC rules, but with massive abuse of Reload knowledge (i.e., being buffed up and with everything ready for this particular fight at this specific location). Even if you do manage to whack him on the ground floor, he's still waiting for you downstairs.

Teaser: Killing his ground-floor incarnation nets you two unique items, one of which is obtainable nowhere else in the game!
