Autocreation works if you copy
local/plugins/RT-Authen-ExternalAuth/html/Callbacks/ExternalAuth/autohandler/Auth
to local/html/Callbacks/ExternalAuth/autohandler/Auth and apply the
following patch to User_Vendor.pm:

--- local/lib/RT/User_Vendor.pm~	2008-04-09 10:40:44.000000000 +0200
+++ ./local/lib/RT/User_Vendor.pm	2008-08-04 17:46:32.000000000 +0200

     }
 
-    if ( $self->PrincipalObj->Disabled ) {
+    if ( $self->PrincipalObj and $self->PrincipalObj->Disabled ) {
         $RT::Logger->info("Disabled user " . $self->Name . 
                           " tried to log in" );
         return (undef);

At least I got it to work, and I think those were the only two changes I
made.
