As you will know, the AutoUpdate option is supposed to update the style
of any paragraph "when you apply direct formatting to a paragraph using
this style in your document." The problem, I think, is that it is not
possible to apply a new language to a paragraph in your required style,
since language is a not a paragraph property. What you must have done
is to select an entire paragraph and then set the *character* property
of the selection to the new language - but that is not the same thing.
As you have discovered, such a change does not, therefore, propagate
through the similarly styled paragraphs. (Language can be a character
property, a character style property, and a paragraph style property -
but not a paragraph property!)
I hope I won't have to do the same procedure in every single instance
of the style in a two-language document...
No: you won't. Once you have the relevant paragraphs styled separately,
the solution is straightforward: just to make the change to your
paragraph style property directly. Right-click in an appropriate
paragraph, and go to Edit Paragraph Style... | Font. Change the
language setting there. This change will not supersede any character
formatting you may have applied locally, so you may need to reset that.
I trust this helps.

I changed the language in the Character Style: ... > Font > Language:
[None]. It works.
Thanks everybody,
