That is called stop-down metering.
The key phrase in the question was "in auto exposure mode".
I imagine it would have to be a body with DOF preview done
electronically.
No, with stop down metering it also works in aperure priority mode. I
tried it on my F4.

Yes, DOF works in aperture priority auto: stop down or no
'stop down metering'. Though I am not sure what you mean
by automatic 'stop down metering' - flipping the little
AI tab up and pushing the DOF button while firing the shutter?

I see I miss-worded my query, let me restate:

Is there a camera where DOF works with shutter-priority
or program auto exposure?

On my F4 pushing the DOF button in 'S' and 'P' stops
the lens down all the way.

Probably not.

could believe what it liked, including the idea that it had been hard done
by. It was allowed to keep its horse, since horses were so cheap to make.

Oh well, it turns out it's a pre-AI lens so probably not worth the
hassle to get it modified. There's no holes in the indexing prongs and
she said it has to be set to f/5.6 to mount??? And who knows how good
the optics are for that older version.

If the price is right its well worth modding, just bought an old but
immaculate 1.4 and Ai conversion is on the list when I get one thats a
user rather a collectable, as for how good the optics are, somewhat
better than some of the newer ones £ for £, $ for $!
