It appears that the sport mode is automatically deactivated when the engine switch is turned off.
It gets reset to normal mode. Is there any way to disable the automatic deactivation?

It's not possible due to EPA regs. I asked about this on IS F and the reason why the system defaults to NORM mode is because the car was tested and certified in normal operation settings. If the car were to start in "SPORT" mode, the parameters change. There's no way to disable it as the system is programmed to do it.

going to have to look into that. i'm 99.9% sure that when i set the mode while driving in eco, sport or sport plus,,,,, when i restart the car it's in the same mode in which it was set.

As a point of reference, my S5 had the Sport Differential, which allowed Comfort/Auto/Dynamic settings. If I had the car in Dynamic (which = Sport for Lexus) and turned it off it would default to Auto. This is not unique to Lexus.
