The short answer is no.  The only way to e-file FBAR for 2016 and earlier years is to do so directly with FinCEN via BSA E-Filing System.  You will need to sign up for an account on the website if you don't already have one: https://bsaefiling1.fincen.treas.gov/BSALoginMain

The long answer is that you should technically be able to e-file any prior year FBARs, even without an EFIN.  However, Lacerte/PTO (like some other tax products) is able to e-file FBAR only if all the conditions for e-filing a federal return are met (i.e. subject to the usual current year plus two prior years limit for tax returns and there must be a valid EFIN on the Intuit account).
