I would like to disable all of the objects located inside one of the container objects (UIPANEL and UIBUTTONGROUP). Is there a property of the container that does this?

The container objects do not have a property that can disable all of its children. However, you can obtain the container's children, and then modify their Enable properties with a single command:
% Here 'c' is the handle to a container object
children = get(c,'Children');
set(children,'Enable','inactive');

As of R2020b ButtonGroup and Panel both support Enable when the button group or panel is parented to a uifigure.

For Matlab App Designer 2018 and up you should use 'Enable','off' as:
% Here app.UIFigure is the main handel or container object
children = get(app.UIFigure,'Children');
set(children(isprop(children,'Enable')),'Enable','off')
