No. Defender is meant to turn its real-time protection off to avoid conflicts if another AV is installed. It can however still do limited periodic scans (which don't cause a problem for the other AV). As far as I am aware (as I don't use any other AV) the default is to do limited periodic scans when you use another AV for the real-time protection.
