That's right auto-vacuumed might not have triggered -- I think, that because of
autovacuum_vacuum_scale_factor setting and most of the time update does not
increase the table size.

Following question might not directly be related to your query but
just curious to know:
Does your table have indexes and by any chance your experiment
updating non-index column?
