And what about a word like ANTITUPOS? Here the relationship with
correspondence is evident. BDAG defines ANTITUPOS as "pertaining to that which
corresponds to some[thing] else, adj, corresponding to."
Though the word ANTILUTRON itself is rare, I think the context in which it
is used in the NT gives legitimacy to the concept of correspondence, and that
correspondence is more than just a suggestion. .

For what nuance if any the prefix ANTI is likely to add to LUTRON, it
wouldn't hurt to compare what happens to the meaning of various familiar
verbs when the prefix ANTI is added to them.
See, for example:
BALLW and ANTIBALLW
GRAFW and ANTIGRAFW
KALEW and ANTIKALEW
METREW and ANTIMETREW
All of these gain some sense of "in exchange" or "in return". Given that
LUTROW means to buy someone out of captivity, and LUTRON means the price of
buying them out of captivity, there is already an implicit "this (money or
something valuable) in return for that" (the person or persons held in
captivity) in the whole notion of ransoming. The prefix ANTI fits right in.
