Can I leave my insurance for a day and then sign up again for AXA as a new customer?

Definitely show your broker this quote and let them do the leg work for you (as they should be doing anyway). They should be able to contact AXA on your behalf and discuss the situation and the fact you have a cheaper quote directly with them as a "new" customer and see if it can be matched.
Otherwise, you may be able to dump your broker and go directly with AXA instead? A quick phone call to AXA would settle that for you either way.
