I'm not aware of any built-in way to do what you want. For either
implementing or working around, org-capture-set-target-location and
org-capture-fill-template are the two places you'd probably want to
look. As a start of a hacky workaround, with an entry like
("d" "Diary entry" entry (file+datetree "/tmp/scratch.org")
"* %i%?\n %T" :time-prompt t)
you should be able to get the time/no time behavior you're after with
(advice-add 'org-capture-fill-template :around
(lambda (fn &optional template &rest args)
(let ((template (and (not org-time-was-given)
(replace-regexp-in-string
"%T" "%t"
(org-capture-get :template) t))))
(apply fn template args)))
'((name . "org-capture-hack")))
