I bought medium-dark blue semi-gloss paint for a bathroom in my house,
but due primarily to the old plaster's uneven nature, the darker color
with a semi-gloss paint does not look great. You can see all of the
imperfections in the plaster with the gloss in the paint.

I bought semi-gloss because I always thought bathrooms needed a
semi-gloss for cleaning and due to the moisture. This bathroom has a
window but no fan ventilation so I thought a semi gloss was definitely
needed.

Is this the case, or can I get a flat paint instead for this bathroom
even though the wall will get some dampness regularly?

It can be done. Look into scrubbable paints and maybe go with an
exterior paint.
