One option:

Instead of opening a new file with just ":new" or ":enew", give it a file name 
right when you start editing, to trigger filetype detection:

    :new test.sql
    :e test.sql

The BufNew autocmd you're using should also work. In fact, it works fine for me.

You can use ":verbose set commentstring?" to find what it is set to, and what 
script is responsible, when it is set to something you did not expect.
