This is by design. You can still set
'APT::Periodic::Update-Package-Lists "1";' in a configuration file
snippet in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/ if you want "apt update" happen
automatically without also doing upgrades.

Bug#892430: unattended-upgrades: Disabling unattended-upgrades and removing leaves apt update flag not set

Package: unattended-upgrades
Version: 1.0
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I had installed the pk-update-icon package which also installed and enabled 
unattended-upgrades. I did not want this in Debian Sid so I disabled and then 
apt removed unattended-upgrades.

I then would only get updated packages in general if I typed "apt update" 
manually. It turns out that turning off unattended-upgrades turns off all 
updates in general in an automatic way. I was of course still able to manually 
check the mirrors via apt update and get my updates in that way.

The solution to this in my particular case was that after unattended-upgrades 
was turned off and subsequently removed, to apt purge unattended-upgrades.
