You can buy a light sensitive adapter that goes between the fixture and the
bulb that will do exactly what you want. Light on at night and off during
the day. Home Depot or Lowes.

I had one of those for years. It would never allow the light to come
on full, but that was OK because the bulb lasted forever. BUT, I just
found out the dimmer was the source of the radio noise that has been a
problem all that time.
