There is some kind of reincarnation of the old "killev" command 
which will do this. I'm not sure of the name because I don't run
evolution. But aha, someone on IRC thinks the command is
  evolution --force-shutdown

This must be undocumented. It doesn't show up in evolution --help.
But he is using it, so it's clearly there :) 

Don't kill off evolution-alarm though: not if you have calendar
stuff going on. It sits there watching the time in order to pop
up a reminder box. If you're not using that facility fine. But
otherwise, killing it off will kill off more than you meant.
