I don't think there's a setting anywhere to the effect of "if you send
an(y) authn request to IDP D then always include a request for
AuthnContextClassRef Z, too". Neither in the SP nor in the CDS.

I doubt there's a metadata extension to address that case either.

If you really only had 4 IDPs you could simply forgo use of an
external IDP Discovery Service (which is overkill, IMO, and the Shib
CDS is going away soon anyway) and simply hand-craft the
session-initiating links into your SP(s) or application(s), each time
including the "correct" auth context for each IDP.
