When ejabberd is started, it has the ACL list empty, then it reads the config file and loads into memory.

When you call reload_config, it reads the config file and loads into memory, overwritting existing data. As you noticed, old ACLs are overwritten, but not deleted: the list isn't empty.

I see no way to tell reload_config to not overload, or to remove config in memory before reading it.

There is a solution: you must be explicit, for example:
First you block him:

acl:
  blocked:
    user:
      - "user2@localhost"
      - "test"

access_rules:
  c2s:
    - deny: blocked
    - allow

Later you want to allow again, without restart:

acl:
  unblocked:
    user:
      - "user2@localhost"
  blocked:
    user:
      - "test"

access_rules:
  c2s:
    - allow: unblocked
    - deny: blocked
    - allow
