This answer won't help. The median markers are marker symbols, so
changing the symbol will not produce a straight line,

I don't think you can do this with -dotplot- short of cloning the
program and changing the code.

-stripplot- (SSC) can get closer to what you want. You can look at its
-box- option.

This example shows other possibilities, but you would need to write
some ad hoc extra code in the same style for your problem.

sysuse auto, clear

egen median = median(mpg) , by(foreign)

gen x1 = 0
gen x2 = 0.8
gen x3 = 1
gen x4 = 1.8

stripplot mpg, over(foreign) vertical stack ///
addplot(rspike x1 x2 median if !foreign, horizontal || ///
rspike x3 x4 median if foreign, horizontal)
