There's no shame in just including local linearity or the existence of
normals as part of the hypothesis.

On the other hand, it would be nice to have it come out as a consequence
of some natural requirement that non-mathematicians could appreciate.

A monotone function can be non-differentiable only on a set of measure
zero, so perhaps monotonicity would be sufficient.
