The Rabbinate has no authority over me because I was married in a halakhic ceremony by an Orthodox rabbi, but not through the State Rabbinate.

Incorrect. Every Jewish couple registered as married by the Ministry of Interior can only get divorced through the State Rabbinate, regardless of type of ceremony. If they do not divorce through the Rabbinate, any subsequent children of the woman with a new partner will be considered mamzerim.
