Even if one were to discount the Moses/God interactions as Moses' own personal delusion, there were quite many supernatural elements that weren't accounted for within the film. Why would the crocodiles get all irritated in the first place to start the waters to blood-fish dying-frogs leaving-flies-boils sequence? Certainly the viceroy fella tries to explain it, and it was done in such a way that the audience can take it or leave it.
Along with the firstborn curse though, there is the hail, the locusts, and the meteor (with the resulting tsunami to explain the waters receding then coming back with a vengeance). Any of these might have just happened independently, but the timing is too convenient to be strictly natural.
Overall, I have to agree with most of your post, but given these other examples of the storyline that have "no feasible alternative explanation," I just don't think this was the main premise of the movie at all. I think that is just one interesting side-arc left for the watcher to interpret for himself according to his beliefs.
