Well, this kind of issue has come up here before, and the solution
does seem to be what you are suggesting, i.e. adding an appropriate
JkMount directive to the tomcat/apache conf file to make sure apache
passes the request to tomcat.
As to having it be in the conf-auto file, I don't really know about
that, but generally the recommendation here has been to use that file
as a model for your real one, i.e. copying it and editing it to suit
your needs, and including the modified one in the apache conf file.
It would be nice if there were some way to specify that such things be
included in the conf-auto file, but I don't know that one currently
exists.
