Efficiently computing (plethysm-like?)substitutions of symmetric functions
This is a rather technical question, it arose in connection of some calculations that I need to have better grasp of the question Formal group law over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and my own older one What is ...

Do any specializations of variables give valid equalities of series and products involving Witt symmetric functions?
Formally, Witt symmetric functions $w_n(x_1,x_2,...)$ ($n\geqslant1$) can be defined by
$$
\prod_n(1-w_nt^n)=1+\sum_k(-1)^ke_kt^k=\prod_j(1-x_jt),
$$
where $e_k(x_1,x_2,...)$ are the elementary ...
