The passage you previously referenced was an indirect quotation of what others were saying about Jesus contained within the Dominical speech whereas this is a continuation of his direct speech
11.18
ὅτι λέγετε ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλειν με …
hOTI LEGETE EN BEELZEBOU EKBALLEIN ME …
For you say that I cast out Beelzeboul …
Here the direct statement would have been ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλει … [EN BEELZEBOUL EKBALLEI …] "He casts out … by Beelzeboul …" or ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλεις … [EN BEELZEBOUL EKBALLEIS …] "You cast out … by Beelzeboul …"
11.19
εἰ δὲ ἐγὼ ἐν Βεελζεβοὺλ ἐκβάλλω τὰ δαιμόνια
EI DE EGW EN BEELZEBOUL EKBALLW TA DAIMONIA …
But if I cast out the demons by Beelzeboul …

One reason I asked was because of the very next clause of verse 19. It has
EI DE EGW EN BEELZEBOUL EKBALLW TA DAIMONIA
I thought he changed from the infinitive + acc. pronoun to the simple
finite. But I think what you are saying is the the infinitve is expected
after hOTI LEGW.
Kindly,
