The rule as I stated says if the runner slides beyond the base and makes contact (does not require a play) then the runner is OUT.

You said quote: "Had there been a play, I would have called him out for the illegal slide."

I was just wondering how many have called OUT for contact with NO PLAY...
You cited 2-32-2c, which defines an illegal slide. That rule does NOT say that the runner who commits an illegal slide is out. You added that.

For penalties you need to look at the interference rule, and there's no interference without a play to be interfered with.
